Npcap cannot install in WinPcap-compatible mode when Win10pcap is installed #405

Description

@dmiller-nmap

Win10pcap installs wpcap.dll and Packet.dll but does not use the npf.sys driver name that WinPcap used. Based on DLLs, Npcap's installer thinks that WinPcap is installed, but since it is not, it cannot be uninstalled. We should detect Win10Pcap and refuse to install in WinPcap-compatible mode, notifying the user that it must be uninstalled first. We should be able to install in normal Npcap-API mode without issues.
