One issue is that extcap_register_preferences is called before loading
the interfaces, and therefore all extcap binaries are run twice
because of multiple calls to extcap_reload_interface_list(). One in
extcap_register_preferences() and one in fill_in_local_interfaces().
This should be improved.
Loading extcap could be done in the background after Wireshark has
started, like is done in "Refresh Interfaces".
