Use ESD_TYPE_CRIT for most errors (the model used by various GUIs seems

to use "warning" dialog boxes only to warn the user "if you do that, bad
things may happen" *and* to offer them the option either to drive on or
quit, so perhaps ESD_TYPE_CRIT should be used for all errors).

However, put "Ethereal: Error" rather than "Ethereal: Critical" in the
title bar, in the hopes that it'll make it clearer that Something Bad
Happened.

If the user specifies that captures should be saved to a user-specified
file rather than a temporary file, report errors trying to create that
file with "file_open_error_message()".

Make the "for_writing" argument to "file_open_error_message()" a
"gboolean", as it's either TRUE (if the file is being opened for
writing) or FALSE (if it's being opened for reading).

Report EISDIR as "XXX is a directory (folder), not a file.".
