> Allow the user to specify protocol link type when creating pcapng files.
> This change is needed to specify the protocol type in the pcapng file,
> DLT_EN10MB specifies ethernet packets only. This will allow dissectors
> for other protocols to be used on files generated by pcapng.
> 
> Includes a breaking change to rte_pcapng_add_interface to add link_type
> parameter. Existing calls to the function have been updated to pass
> DLT_EN10MB for the link type argument.
> 
> Fixes: d1da6d0d04c7 ("pcapng: require per-interface information")
