2015-07-25DNS: move DNS name resolution pref to Name Resolution prefsHadriel Kaplan1-0/+2
Move the boolean flag for using captured DNS packet info for name resolution to the Name Resolution preferences settings, as it was rather surprising to disable Name Resolution preferences and still have names being resolved. Also disble them all if the '-n' command line switch is used, and re-enable it for a 'd' character in the '-N' option.
