Add pcap exporter for packets #1

@mumrah

Description

@mumrah

It's handy to be able to capture traffic for a period of time and analyze it with WireShark (or similar). pcap is a well known file format for capturing packets.

See an example of how to write out these files here

A library such as https://pypi.org/project/pypcapkit/ could be used as well.

Eventually, it would be useful to turn on and off a pcap dumper while the node controller is running, but for a start let's add it as an output option to tarpn-packet-dump. Something like

tarpn-packet-dump /dev/ttyUSB0 19200 --pcap-file packets.pcap
