Untangle detection of pcap_findalldevs().
tcpdump.c requires both HAVE_PCAP_IF_T and HAVE_PCAP_FINDALLDEVS to manage the code that depends on pcap_findalldevs(). Other than that, the Autoconf and CMake checks that produce these two macros do not relate directly, so having the check for pcap_if_t conditional on the check for pcap_findalldevs() is an unnecessary complication. More importantly, in the CMake case this places the check_type_size() for pcap_if_t into a context with CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES already set to PCAP_LIBRARIES. This works only if check_type_size() does not have to check for <sys/types.h>, <stdint.h> or <stddef.h> implicitly. This was the case so long as another check_type_size() before the CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES change made the implicit checks and cached the results, but removing that earlier instance resulted in a warning: Policy CMP0075 is not set: Include file check macros honor CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES. Run "cmake --help-policy CMP0075" for policy details. Use the cmake_policy command to set the policy and suppress this warning. CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES is set to: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcap.so For compatibility with CMake 3.11 and below this check is ignoring it. To fix that, in both Autoconf and CMake make the two checks separate and unconditional and place the check for pcap_if_t where it fits better. In CMake remove the earlier workaround with in6_addr.
