Fix up handling of link layer types in capture_dlg.c

This one gets every case I've found (including the one that spawned this bug)
and throws in a deadlock fix for good measure.

Briefly:
- Make sure that unsupported link-layer types *always* have a dlt of -1 in the
`device.links` list so that we can tell if they're unsupported.
- When building the combo-box of link-layer types, make the unsupported ones
insensitive (disabled), and be sure to default to a supported one if we have
one.
- Compiling a capture filter requires a supported link-layer type, so disable
the 'Compile BPF' button if there are none.
- It is not always a programming error to have no active pointer in the
combo-box, as this can happen when all the available entries are unsupported
(and thus disabled). Don't abort with g_assert_not_reached() when this happens.
- Unlock the `pcap_compile_mtx` mutex in all cases after compiling a packet
filter. This was causing a deadlock (complete program hang) if you tried to
compile two different filters in a row on the same interface.
