Subject: [PATCH] Lookup dumpcap in PATH

NixOS patch: Look for dumpcap in PATH first, because there may be a
dumpcap wrapper that we want to use instead of the default
non-setuid dumpcap binary.

Also change execv() to execvp() because we've set argv[0] to "dumpcap"
and have to enable PATH lookup. Wireshark is not a setuid program, so
looking in PATH is not a security issue.

ORIGINALLY by Björn Forsman

EDITED by teto for wireshark 3.6

EDITED by esclear for wireshark 4.0
