Sometimes I want to save some frames in a range in captured data.
To do it, "marking" function of wireshark is useful.
However, marking many frames in a range needs many clicking.
Very annoying operation.

So I propose a patch which provides a function marking frames in a range at 
two clicks. When clicking button-2 with shift-key, frames between a selected
frame and a frame under the mouse pointer are marked. When clicking button-2
with shift-key and control-key, the frames are unmarked.

After some personal usability test, I decide a frame selection is not changed
in the operation with the modifier keys.

I think this new function is useful for other users. So please include it to
official source tree if you appreciate it.
