One more step in privilege separation.
Add a capture_interface_list(), which works similar to get_interface_list() except that it forks dumpcap instead of calling the pcap routines directly. Use it in the GUI. Add a "-I" flag to dumpcap, which prints out verbose interface information. Tested under Windows and Linux. svn path=/trunk/; revision=22071
