Add PCAPNG functionality to packet parser #6

Current PCAP parser library (pkts) only supports parsing of older PCAP files, not PCAPNG. Need to incorporate a way to filter out PCAPNG files or convert PCAPNG files to PCAP files in order to properly parse.

Providing PCAPNG file currently reports IllegalArgumentException: Unknown header type (an issue with pkts library).

So your parser fails when we provide a PCAPNG file? what is the error it reports in that case?
