Extra #ifdef's required for pcap-linux.c

[Darren Reed <darren.reed () oracle com>]

Linux has defined a large number of values for dummy ARP
header types (<net/if_arp.h>) that are not present in the
official IANA listing. See the hardware type table here:

http://www.iana.org/assignments/arp-parameters/arp-parameters.xhtml

and compare it with the list found in pcap-linux.c.

One of my current goals is to get pcap-linux.c to compile
and function on Solaris using PF_PACKET in Solaris and
after internal discussion, we're not entirely keen on
defining all of the extra symbols found on Linux given
that they have no actual basis.

The attached diff introduces complimentary #ifdef's for
all of the Linux extras, of which there is already some
present. This should also make pcap-linux.c friendlier
to all Linuxes.

btw, the above table also suggests that the Linux
handling of type 15, frame relay, is incorrect.
