doc: document WIRESHARK_CONFIG_DIR
WIRESHARK_CONFIG_DIR was introduced with Wireshark 3.0 and is more
cross-platform than WIRESHARK_APPDATA. The latter was presumably created
for use by PortableApps. Let's consider that an internal, undocumented
detail that might be change, and document WIRESHARK_CONFIG_DIR instead.
