client: Set snaplen to MAXIMUM_SNAPLEN

Despite this value not being exported publicly, the truth is that
tcpdump and wireshark nowadays avoid processing any file with snaplen
bigger than this value:
"tcpdump: pcap_loop: invalid packet capture length 861244, bigger than
snaplen of 262144"
It also fails to set snaplen to values bigger than that:
"tcpdump -s 262145" --> "tcpdump: invalid snaplen 262145"

pcapfix also warns about wrong packet length if bigger than same value
(defined as PCAP_MAX_SNAPLEN there).

MAXIMUM_SPANPLEN is defined in tcpdump's netdissect.h and libpcap's
pcap-int.h. It is also defined as WTAP_MAX_PACKET_SIZE in
wireshark/wiretap/wtap.h (this one being the only publicly available).
