Patch that allows -z io,stat,<interval> to work with regional decimal
separator, '.' or ','

With the attached patch, I was able to run "tshark -z
io,stat,<interval>,<filter>,<filter>" with either "English (United States)" or
"Dutch (Netherlands)" as my regional settings and have it work as expected in
either case.  For example:

English (United States): <interval> set to 0.5

tshark.exe -z io,stat,0.5,ip.addr==24.97.150.194,ip.addr==173.194.33.104 -q -r
capture.cap

000.500-001.000      16      7823      6      1606
=================================================================== 

Dutch (Netherlands): <interval> set to 0,5

tshark.exe -z io,stat,0,5,ip.addr==24.97.150.194,ip.addr==173.194.33.104 -q -r
capture.cap

I also tested with <interval> = 200 for both English and Dutch, and they were
equally successful.  This patch is a bit of a hack but it seems to work. 
Essentially, the patch accounts for the fact that the ',' might be gobbled up
as part of the <interval> in some locales but not for others.

Maybe there's a better way to solve this using some combination of localeconv()
and/or setlocale() or some other TBD solution, so I'm not checking in the patch
yet in case there are any objections.
