Update wireshark to latest version and build with c-ares, so that external name resolution works:

buczek@theinternet:~$ sudo tshark -i net00 -f ip -c 4 -N nN
Running as user "root" and group "root". This could be dangerous.

And, btw. never ever run wireshark as root, as I did.

Two typos in the c-ares commit message.

  1. external
  2. from

c-ares is a C library for asynchronous DNS requests (including name
resolves) [1].

Wireshark needs c-ares to enable external name resolution.

Create bee file from standard template.

I want to rebuild wirekshark with c-ares to enable external name
resolution. Update to latest and greatest stable version by the way.
Currently nobody is using lua scripts so the burden to track an external
patch is not really justified. Remove lua patches for now.
