Add to some comments notes on the meaning of DLT types 15 and 16 on
Linux systems with the isdn4linux patches; they help make DLT types even
less useful than they were after the various flavors of BSD proceeded to
add their own types past 14, with no coordination whatosever, so that
they overlapped, rendering it impossible to read a libpcap capture file
without knowing what particular OS generated it.
