tshark: fix minor memleak of the interface description
Capturing with "tshark -i lo" results in capture_opts->descr being set to "Loopback" via: #3 0x55c5f575720c in fill_in_interface_opts_from_ifinfo capture_opts.c:547:33 #4 0x55c5f5750dc5 in capture_opts_add_iface_opt capture_opts.c:695:9 #5 0x55c5f574b6bd in capture_opts_add_opt capture_opts.c:843:18 #6 0x55c5f5785efc in main tshark.c:1087:21 but tshark overwrites it, presumably to offer textual descriptions like "Standard input" for "-i -". Fix this memory leak, reported by ASAN for three tests from case_tshark_capture that capture from Loopback.
