    Handle DLT_LOOP differently from DLT_NULL.
    
    That's a little cleaner, and lets us preserve the LINKTYPE_ value for
    DLT_LOOP captures.  ("Preserve" here doesn't mean "write files with a
    link-layer header type of 12", as that's ambiguous; we write it with a
    link-layer header type of LINKTYPE_LOOP, i.e. 108.  If programs on
    OpenBSD don't recognize that as DLT_LOOP, that's a bug in OpenBSD's
    libpcap or in the program.)
