Return more specific errors from pcap_can_set_rfmon(); fix documentation.
Have pcap_can_set_rfmon() return PCAP_ERROR_PERM_DENIED if you don't
have permission to check the device and PCAP_ERROR_NO_SUCH_DEVICE if
there's no such device, at least on Mac OS X. Other platforms need to
be fixed as well.
Update the documentatation to reflect that it can return
PCAP_ERROR_PERM_DENIED, fix a typo, and speak of capture sources rather
than devices.
