Fix extcap initialization deadlock

On Windows the code calling extcap worked as follows:
1. Create stdout and stderr pipes with default buffer size
2. Execute extcap redirecting output to the pipes
3. Wait for extcap process to exit
4. Read the data from stdout pipe

This resulted in deadlock when the extcap wrote more data than the pipe
could buffer. This was especially seen with USBPcap as it is quite
normal to have plenty of USB devices connected.

Fix the issue by contantly reading the stdout data and storing it in
GString. To prevent similar deadlock on the stderr, the stderr data is
being constantly monitored as well (and discarded).
