text_import: Allow fake IP headers with Raw IP encapsulation
In text2pcap and Import from Hex Dump, allow fake IP headers with
the appropriate versions when the Raw IP, Raw IPv4, and Raw IPv6
encapsulations are specified. In such cases, do not add a dummy
Ethernet header.
Continue to reject other encapsulations besides these, Ethernet,
and Wireshark Upper PDU when appropriate. Add some checks for the
encapsulation type in text_import as well, instead of just assuming
that the callers handle it correctly.
