automating, or validating DLT_ vs LINKTYPE_ values

[Michael Richardson <mcr () sandelman ca>]

Guy, going through the git commits, I see you did:
     Add LINKTYPE_ values to match new DLT_ values, and update LINKTYPE_MATCHING_MAX.

which I guess was my fault that I forgot to add things.

I will write a file doc/DLT_ALLOCATE_HOWTO.md to explain things, and to
remind myself about pcap-common.c additions.



Questions:
  1) should we have some test case or something that checks that the _MAX
  values are identical?  Perhaps a compile-time test using #error?

  2) should we move the LINKTYPE_ defines to another file, and generate that
  file with a script?
  Should we just generate dlt.h and that new file from a third file (YAML
  or JSON or CSV format...)
