Almost completely rewritten in order to:
- be able to use a unlimited number of ringbuffer files
0 specified with -b argument or in the GUI, means that the number of file
is unlimited.
else the maximum number of ring buffer files is arbitrarily set to 1024.
- close the current file and open (truncating it) the next file at switch
- set the final file name once open (or reopen)
- avoid the deletion of files that could not be truncated (can't arise now)
and do not erase empty files
The idea behind that is to remove the limitation of the maximum # of
ringbuffer files being less than the maximum # of open fd per process
and to be able to reduce the amount of virtual memory usage (having only
one file open at most) or the amount of file system usage (by truncating
the files at switch and not the capture stop, and by closing them which
makes possible their move or deletion after a switch).

It can sometimes happen that capturing is stopped just after Ethereal
has switched to a new ring buffer. The result is that no frames
are displayed. The patch to ringbuffer.c displays the previous ring
buffer if the current buffer is empty on close.
The patch to capture.c fixes a bug where an error return from
ringbuf_wtap_dump_close was ignored, and tidies up the code around
the call.

equivalents for the toplevel directory. The removal of winsock2.h will
hopefully not cause any problems under MSVC++, as those files using
struct timeval still include wtap.h, which still includes winsock2.h.

writing a capture to a FIFO, and improve the error checking for ring
buffers.

it fails.
"wtap_dump_close()" allows you to pass a null pointer as the second
argument, so an error value isn't returned; use that in the cleanup
routine, as we don't care whether the closes fail.

files to get that big.
From Thomas Wittwer and Matthias Nyffenegger:
Support for "ring buffer mode", wherein there's a ring buffer of N
capture files; as each capture file reaches its maximum size (the ring
buffer works only with a maximum capture file size specified), Ethereal
rolls over to the next capture file in the ring buffer, replacing
whatever packets might be in it with new packets.
