Hello,

There is a need to have a feedback about my propose of change (extend)
default procedure of opening file in Wireshark. I propose add ability
to choose format. Default behaviour is still "Automatic". New is
component (GUI, list) where you can choose opening format.

Use case: For example heuristic for "mp2t" fail on file in format VWR
(VWR will be open as mp2t). Currently you are not able to open VWR in
this case. Patch add possibility to open this file.

Related to it is next patch:
https://code.wireshark.org/review/#/c/17/
Example BTSNOOP files:
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=1427
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=1426

First patch add possibility to open file in specified format, so there
is a case to open log file in "Fileshark" mode. Fortunately seems that
Wireshark is able to dissect header of file and all packet like normal
Wireshark mode.
