Add a routine to kill a capture child if it exists, so that if we exit
(by deleting the main window or selecting File->Quit or typing ^Q) while an "Update list of packets in real time" capture is in progress, we can abort the capture. Arrange that "fork_child" is -1 when there is no capture child, so said routine knows when it can kill the child. When we exit, kill off any capture child, using that routine, and, if we're exiting due to a request to delete the main window and, if a read is in progress (from an "Update list of packets in real time" capture), don't delete the main window - just set the "Read aborted" flag, so that the code doing the read will see that flag (it will be called because the pipe to the capture child is closed due to the child exiting) will see that and clean up and exit itself. svn path=/trunk/; revision=4498
