The libpcap library has had the ability to send packets since 2004, theres
really no need to test for it.  Especially in the way dpdk is doing as, as
according to the libpcap git tree pcap_sendpacket has never been a #define, and
dpdk tests for its existance with an #ifdef.  Its easier just to remove the test
entirely
