The extcap help page link can be configured in the "extcap" entry when dumping
--extcap-interfaces.  This is printed in extcap_print_version() and the output
looks like this:

  extcap {version=1.0}{help=http://www.wireshark.org}
  interface {value=interface1}{display=Interface ONE}

But in extcap_get_help_for_ifname() the help entry is fetched from the
"interface" entry, which will never be set when using the extcap-base functions
or using code examples from extcap_example.py.

The help button works correct if putting the {help=} in the "interface" entry,
but this is not supported in the extcap-base framework.


Another bug is that the default help page points to this address which does not
exist:
