Indicate that Python is required to compile Wireshark.

Remove some trailing white space at the same time.

(The ./configure options in INSTALL are significantly out of date--that will
be the subject of a separate commit.)

Get rid of the list of capture file formats, so we have one fewer list
that we can fail to update. Point the user at the Wireshark man page,
instead.
