editcap: flag to set unused bytes in SLL headers
Unused bytes in SLL Link Layer address can be random bytes.
Which makes the duplicate check think the packets are different.
Even if the unused bytes was the only difference.
This flag enables editcap to set the unused bytes to zeros to enable
the duplicate check to detect duplicates.
