Improve the secondary error messages for pcap errors.
On Windows, if WinPcap isn't installed, warn about that for errors other
than failed attempts to start capturing.
On HP-UX, if we appear to have an old version of libpcap, warn about
that for errors other than failed attempts to start capturing.
If we know the error is a permissions problem, don't make suggestions
appropriate to other problems.
If we know the error is *not* a permissions problem, don't make
suggestions appropriate to permissions problems.
For permissions problems, or possible permissions problems, on Linux,
suggest doing dpkg-reconfigure wireshark-common if you've installed from
a package on Debian or a Debian derivative such as Ubuntu.
