Add command-line option to write unprocessed packets to a file

This commit also changes the PcapDumper to automatically flush after
every called to Dump(). This is because pcap_dump has an internal buffer
of some sort that only writes to the file after a set amount of bytes.
When using the new option on a low-traffic network, it might be a while
before you see any packets written since it has to overcome that buffer
limit first.
