patch to add plugin to dissect netdump protocol in wireshark

Build Information:
Latest SVN tree
--
netdump is an exceedingly simple protocol used to transfer and capture core
kernel image dumps over a network:
http://www.redhat.com/support/wpapers/redhat/netdump/

I thought it would be nice to add a dissector to netdump so that this protocol
could be correctly parsed and interpreted using wireshark.

To that end I've written the attached patch (based of off todays latest
wireshark svn tree).  I've tested it on Fedora 10 and it works quite well. 
Please consider pulling it into your repository.

Thanks!
