A user reported that Wireshark 2.2.1 would hang for a long time at startup at
the loading screen, showing "Handing off plugins... 1722".
Backtraces pointed to g_spawn_sync (extcap.c:extcap_foreach) which was showed
"androiddump", "--extcap-interfaces" in argv.
Further inspection of androiddump showed that it was blocking in a connect()
call which happened because the user had a firewall which dropped all packets
to unknown ports.
Suggestion: load (extcap) interfaces in an asynchronous way.
Stopgap fix: maybe set a lower connect timeout for androiddump?
