patch [1/3] drop privileges after opening devices

This is the first of three patches I created over the past few days.  

This patch moves the pcap_open_live() functions together and then drops
privileges right after.  This code was borrowed from tcpdump and modified.  

The end goal is to run a program (or script) at a start event and a different
one at a stop event.  This way, you could trigger on a mac address, and launch
tshark with a read filter "-R" for HTTP POST's or some such.  

These patches are in _no_ way final.  It compiles for me (on linux) and runs,
please check me.  ;-)
