   Free p->opt.device on close, not on cleanup.
   That way, if a failed pcap_activate() cleans up anything done by the
   activate by calling the module's cleanup routine, which should always
   call pcapint_cleanup_live_common(), p->opt.device, which is set by
   pcap_create() and shouldn't be freed or modified until the pcap_t is
   closed, will be left alone.
   
   Commit e333a6044f7d2d3225a6a22205b6b7c1e389945f moved the freeing
   of p->opt.device to pcap_cleanup_live_common(), but the reason for doing
   that is that, before that commit, we were freeing p->opt.device *before*
   calling the module's cleanup routine, and pcap-npf.c's cleanup routine
   used p->opt.device to turn monitor mode off.
   
   This change moves freeing of p->opt.device back, but does it *after* the
   module's cleanup routine is called, so it's safe for that rouine to use
   p->opt.device - as long as it doesn't save the value of p->opt.device
   and attempt to use it later. Copy the string if you need to do that.
   
   Fix #1615.
   
   Add a test for that crash in testprogs/activatetest.c. That won't
   necessarily catch *all* cases where this is a problem on *all*
   platforms, but it should at least catch it on Linux.
