- Add support for writing PCAP files
The new -w <file> option should allow for writing PCAP files with the
Linux SLL link type.
When creating PCAP files using tcpdump a lot of extra information from
all netlink sockets are written. This write support should only write
the information related to nl80211. However parts from the generic
netlink control channel from resolving the nl80211 family name must
be included as well.
It might be also beneficial to include RTNL messages related to the
wireless network interfaces. Currently these are all filtered out.

- Track RTNL messages for wireless network interface
The RTNL messages indicate operation state changes and with are also
relevant for a complete picture of the userspace kernel communication.
However the complicated part is to identify which network interfaces
are wireless related and which are not. Obviously the non-wireless
network interfaces need to be filtered out.

- Handle netlink core control messages correctly
The core control netlink messages for NLMSG_ERROR and NLMSG_DONE are
not decoded properly. Add detailed decoding and also decode all the
flags that are related to the core control messages.
