If someone needs to write a Lua script to export packets to numerous pcap
files, the operating system might run out of file handles. For example as
described in:
https://ask.wireshark.org/questions/39030/what-s-the-best-way-to-split-tcp-streams-on-large-pcap-files.
So it would be nice to have a way to open Dumpers in append mode, where it
opens an existing pcap file and appends to end. That way the Lua script could
close Dumpers when too many are open, and re-open them later if need be.
