Clean up the new-file selection criteria in the GUI.
Inspired by looking into
https://ask.wireshark.org/question/8009/wireshark-ring-buffer-settings-from-command-line/
... in which the user was confused because a duration set on the command
line was not reflected in the GUI. That's because
I0180c43843f5d2f0c2f50153c9ce42ac7fa5aeae added the `interval` ring-buffer
option and made the GUI use this rather than `duration`. This was not at all
clear in the GUI, though.
Since `duration` and `interval` have quite different use cases, expose both in
the GUI.
Try to clean up and unify the tooltips at the same time. I'm not entirely
convinced the tooltips need to be on the checkbox, the spinbox, and the
combobox but leave it that way for now.
Add some to the man page description of the interval option to hopefully make
it clearer what the option does.
