extcap: discover interfaces in a parallel
Split interface discovery in three stages: discover available programs
(extcap_get_extcap_paths), obtain outputs for each (extcap_run_all) and
processing of the output (process_new_extcap). The second step is most
expensive, do it in parallel in multiple threads.
extcap_foreach used to call extcap_if_exists, but as "cb_info.ifname" is
always NULL for interface discovery, it would always pass. Remove this
check and all other unused functions.
This saves 100ms startup time on Linux with 7 extcap tools.
