Speak of the "-d encap:" value as a linktype, rather than a DLT; if a
name is specified, it currently must be a DLT_ name rather than a LINKTYPE_ name, as we use libpcap to do the mapping and it currently has no API to map LINKTYPE_ names to values, but if a number is specified, it could either be a LINKTYPE_ name or a DLT_ name if the two are different, and we want to encourage the use of LINKTYPE_ values.
