Wireshark fails to start when an Android device is connected via USB. Error
message is like this:
13:20:05          Err  Preference
extcap.android-logcat-text-events-CB5A1ZN4HN.adbserverip contains invalid
characters

Reverting these patches solves the problem:
71a21d7 extcap: Correct save for file arguments
927ffaa extcap: Add Save functionality to options dialog

The problem appears to be that some new preferences are named based on the
extcap interface name. androiddump tool generate interface names from the
device serial number with capital letters present. Preferences however have to
be lower case only.
