Add missing entries, regularize the descriptions, etc.. Note that pcap and pcapng are the native formats. Fix various issues. Update the editcap -F output to match urrent reality. While we're at it, sort the libwiretap modules, putting observer.c in the right place.

2019-02-14Convert the FAQ to Asciidoctor and remove old help files.Gerald Combs1-0/+1108
Convert our self-generating FAQ to Asciidoctor via the following steps: - `help/faq.py > /tmp/faq.html`. - `pandoc -t asciidoc -o docbook/faq.adoc /tmp/faq.html`. - Manually clean up the markup using a text editor. Question and answer content was left intact. Removing or updating obsolete content will have to be done in a separate change. The Asciidoctor project uses the .adoc extension, so start using it here as well. The contents of the "help" directory appear to have been used for offline support in help_url.c, but that functionality was removed in 2008 in 242e3b78bc. Its content is covered in the User's Guide and man pages so remove it.
