extcap: Add list of extcaps to about dialog
Adds the list of available extcaps to the plugin list in the
About dialog of Wireshark (Qt only). To do this, and additional
sentence is provided in the extcap arguments list, which allows
for additional information to be passed (as of right now, just
version and display is used)
Additionally, cleans up the code when using g_free.
