Description

gopacket doesn't currently support LINKTYPE_PPI (value 192 in the tcpdump list).

Format is documented here:
http://www.cacetech.com/documents/PPI%20Header%20format%201.0.7.pdf

I don't need active support for the entire format right now, but I may take a first stab at a placeholder that will decode enough of it to move on to the next layer.

Would that be worth a PR, or do only full layer implementations get added?
