Qt: TCP Stream Graphs dialog updates.
Add duplicate ACK ticks to Statistics → TCP Stream Graphs → Time Sequence (tcptrace), which I missed when porting from GTK+. Add zero window crosses while we're here. Switch TCPStreamDialog to a subclass of GeometryStateDialog. Add a slot and URL for the Help button and a stub entry in the User's Guide.
