VMware VMnet1 and VMnet8 adapters missing from Npcap 1.30

[dmiller-nmap]

Probably due to e88b6f8 which replaced registry-mining for adapters with calls to GetAdaptersAddresses(), VMware's host-only and NAT virtual network adapters aren't showing up to Npcap. We're investigating why, but helpful information will be output of the following Powershell command: Get-NetAdapter -IncludeHidden -Name "VMware *" | select * | fl

[dmiller-nmap]

Big lead: Get-NetAdapterBinding -ComponentID INSECURE_NPCAP shows that Npcap 1.20 will bind to these adapters, but Npcap 1.30 does not. We made a small change to the INF file for npcap.sys that was intended to improve compatibility and follow microsoft guidance, but it appears this caused us to not bind to these adapters. We'll have to change that. Unfortunately, our window for being able to sign a driver for Windows 8.1 and earlier just closed yesterday, so the fix will have to wait until we can complete #237 and undergo WHQL certification for those operating systems. Windows 10 uses a different signature process for now, which will still work.

As you can see the first command didn't return anything with npcap 1.30 on my system (Win10 x64 20H2, OS build 19042.928)

Fixed in 2519976 for Npcap 1.31

Npcap 1.50 addresses this for Windows versions prior to Windows 10, provided that the /prior_driver installer option ("Install older Npcap 1.31 driver") is not selected.
