> If we had "wtap_file_short_type_string()",

Or "wtap_file_type_short_string()", which makes more sense, given that
"type" is associated with "file", not "string", in
"wtap_file_type_string()".

I just checked "wtap_file_type_short_string()" in.

...or we could just add "wtap_short_string_to_file_type()", which takes
a short name and returns either a file type, or -1 if the short name
doesn't correspond to a file type we can write.

I just checked that in as well.

> That list could also be used in a usage message...

...but the usage message could be generated by a loop going through all
the file types and, for the ones we can write, listing
"wtap_file_short_type_string()" and "wtap_file_type_string()", so it's
not clear that building the list serves a useful purpose - hence I added
"wtap_short_string_to_file_type()".
