Known libpcap encap types.

These codes end up in the pcap file header. If you decide to build a wireshark dissector, you'll need to know that these codes are mapped through the pcap_to_wtap_map[] array in .../wiretap/pcap-common.c.

For example:

{ 280, WTAP_ENCAP_VPP },

A file with the officially-allocated vpp packet type PCAP_PACKET_TYPE_vpp aka 280, will need a top-level dissector registered to deal with WTAP_ENCAP_VPP [=206].

Something like so:

dissector_add_uint("wtap_encap", WTAP_ENCAP_VPP, vpp_dissector_handle);
