The pcap header includes a value indicating how much of each frame is
captured. We always capture the entire frame, so we want to set this to
the maximum possible frame size. Currently we do that by setting it to
ETH_MAX_MTU, but that's a confusingly named constant which might not always
be correct depending on the details of our tap backend.
Instead add a tap_l2_max_len() function that explicitly returns the maximum
frame size for the current mode and use that to set snaplen. While we're
there, there's no particular need for the pcap header to be defined in a
global; make it local to pcap_init() instead.
