There's a relatively new feature in 1.11.3 to select a specific file format
reader, instead of relying on magics or heuristics. If you select a file reader
and open a file, open it, and then click the reload-file button or go to
View->Reload or press the ctrl-R keymap, the file is reloaded but using the
magic/heuristics again instead of the file format reader you previously chose.
This happens because the noted methods above call cf_reload(), given only the
capture_file struct, and inside cf_reload() it simply uses the reader type of
WTAP_TYPE_AUTO again to cf_open() the file.
I've done a search and it appears cf_reload() is only used by the noted methods
above, as well as the Lua reload() function (which is how I discovered this
problem). I think the right thing to do would be either to change cf_reload()
signature/prototype to have a second argument for the type number, or perhaps
put the info in the capture_file struct itself and have it get it from there.
Probably the latter is a better move, since we also have to store the file's
current reader type somewhere, which is nowhere right now afaict.
