Fix IPv6 identification for pflogs

The pflog decoder does not recognize IPv6 packets generated by pflog on FreeBSD. Is there a way to force Wireshark to decode a packet as IPv6? It's not an option in the decoder.

Also, here's a patch to fix the problem in the source,

Welcome to Wireshark development :)

To be able to keep track on (the status of) any bugs and changes in Wireshark we've moved to using Bugzilla and Gerrit a while ago. It would be really helpful if you could at least file a bug report and attach a capture file showing the problem. You can then push a branch with your change to Gerrit, so that it can be reviewed, tested and cherrypicked further. Placing a tag to the bug in the commit message causes these to be linked.
