remove pcap.spec (GH #384)

The file does nothing because RPM-based OS distributions have developed
their own .spec files to build the libpcap .rpm in accordance to their
standard (let alone dpkg and ports). There is no reasonable way and
sense to outperform them in that, yet there is a number of other
outstanding problems, thus I find it best to remove the file.

Those looking to produce a custom OS package of libpcap should base
their work on one of the many existing libpcap packages.

-%description
-Libpcap provides a portable framework for low-level network
-monitoring.  Libpcap can provide network statistics collection,
-security monitoring and network debugging.  Since almost every system
-vendor provides a different interface for packet capture, the libpcap
-authors created this system-independent API to ease in porting and to
-alleviate the need for several system-dependent packet capture modules
-in each application.
-
-Install libpcap if you need to do low-level network traffic monitoring
-on your network.
