Wireshark's current "goto packet" option could be moved from "-g" to "-G", but then Wireshark's new "-G" (goto packet) will be different from tshark's "-G" (reports).
Should Wireshark also be able to generate reports? If so, then we should reserve "-G" for that purpose and move "goto packet" to something else; if not, then we can use "-G".

Presumably "goto packet" should be moved to -G so that -g is
consistent across all the tools.
