text2pcap: allow to set interface name
When generating a capture file from a text file it can be helpfull to be able to set the capture interface name in the generated IDB. This can be especially true if later on the generated captures are merged and the individual IDB's have to be compared. Without a name every IDB of the same datalink type will be equal and subject to merge. Also it keeps the individual streams identifiable for the end user.
