I've checked in a similar change, except that 
"pcap_datalink_val_to_name()" returns the short name, and there's a new 
"pcap_datalink_val_to_description()" returning a description string 
intended for humans (it can contain spaces, etc., making it a pain to 
type as an argument to "-y").  It's in the main branch and the 0.8 
branch, and changes to tcpdump to use it (and define its own version if 
not present) are in the main and 3.8 branches.
