Dumpcap+Qt: Add support for `-a packets:NUM` and `-b packets:NUM`.
Add the ability to rotate files after a specified number of packets (`-b packets:NUM`). Move some condition checks to capture_loop_write_packet_cb. Add `-a packets:NUM` in order to be consistent. It is functionally equivalent to the `-c` flag. Add a corresponding "packets" option to the Capture Interfaces dialog Output tab. Add initial tests for autostop and ringbuffer conditions.
