Currently, wireshark can analyze captures provided by pcap library, read from a
file or from a pipe. This patch allows to specify a capture interface in the
form "TCP@<host>:<port>", allowing to read the capture over a TCP connection.

This feature is useful when the capture is generated on a machine which does
not have much storage (e.g. embedded system). E.g., ipmb_traced application
available on Pigeon Point shelf managers can transmit the capture over the TCP
connection without writing it to the filesystem.
