Change Npcap ComponentID from INSECURE_NPCAP #853

Description

@fyodor

The component IDs of Npcap (which users rarely see, except for debugging commands like Get-NetAdapterBinding" are INSECURE_NPCAP and INSECURE_NPCAP_WIFI. The INSECURE part was chosen because the Nmap Project's parent company was once named "Insecure.Com LLC". But the company is now named "Nmap Software LLC" and the word INSECURE can cause confusion/concern, so we should probably change these to something like nmap_npcap and nmap_npcap_wifi. They also don't have to be uppercase (all the other ones on my system are all-lowercase ones from Microsoft, with names starting with ms_.
