Adopt the CNetworkBackend abstraction (pcap + Linux TAP) from upstream while preserving the local networking features on top of it: - trace_packets tracing re-added in the DEC21143 RX/TX paths - NetworkFilter struct extends set_filter() with the full CSR6 semantics (PR/RA/PM/IF + broadcast + own-MAC fallback); the BPF builder moved from DEC21143::SetupFilter into CNetworkPcap - Windows run-time wpcap.dll loading (from System32\Npcap) moved into NetworkPcap and shared with the es40-cfg wizard, replacing the two duplicated copies; the exe no longer needs Npcap in WinPcap-compat mode - robust fgets-based adapter picker kept, now in CNetworkPcap::init - adapter descriptions kept in the configure wizard device list - new TAP config keys (type, host_ip, bridge, uplink, tap_create) added to the dec21143 config allow-list Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Pull all libpcap code out of the Tulip emulator and place it into a "pcap" implementation. Also add a "tap" implementation that can work on Linux and *BSD. The initial patch was taken from lenticularis39/axpbox#124 and, afaict, was created by Claude AI. This is tested to work on Linux with a bridge. Need to test is on some BSD, and the pcap code is untested right now.
