    dns plugin: Don't pass a NULL pointer to `pcap_open_live'.
    
    Although the documentation states clearly, that passing a NULL pointer
    as device is okay and handled like "any", doing so will crash the daemon
    on some systems, most notably *BSDs but Linux users have reported this
    behavior, too.
    
    This patch passes "any" when the pointer it NULL, which reportedly
    resulted in a different behavior, but still crashing the daemon. We'll
    keep trying ;)
