Name resolution is not working as advertised. According to the tshark manual
page (option -N), name resolution is enabled by default. But the hosts in the
tshark output are still IP addresses (-Tfields -e ip.host also shows IP
addresses).

To reproduce, try any IP capture. To rule out network resolution issues, I
tried to use a hosts file but that also does not work (only numeric addresses
are shown)

 echo 8.8.8.8 dns > hosts
 tshark -r some.pcapng.gz -Y 'ip.addr==8.8.8.8' -H hosts
 # also tried wit: -Tfields -e ip.host

Affects 2.0 too, have not tested it with earlier versions. Name resolution in
the Qt GUI does work (after modifying it via the menu).
