The routine "get_manuf_name()" takes, as an argument, a "const guint8 *"
that points to a 3-octet OUI, and returns a string that is either the
manufacturer name if MAC address resolution is enabled and there's name
for that OUI in Ethereal's "manuf" file or is XX:XX:XX with the values
of the octets otherwise.

(Perhaps there should be separate user preferences for "resolve MAC
addresses to host names" and "resolve OUIs to manufacturer names".)
