#58758: wireshark3 3.0.2_1: no "wireshark" executable (just Wireshark.app)

-------------------------+------------------------
 Prior versions of wireshark were able to be run from the command line as,
 eg, `wireshark PCAP_FILE`, which is convenient when using `scp`/`sftp` to
 download a PCAP file from elsewhere to analysis.

 With the `wireshark3` package, there is no `wireshark` executable any
 more, because it is now delivered as a native macOS application (eg,
 `/Applications/MacPorts/Wireshark.app`) which means that it needs a new
 way to open the application (and depending on how the PCAP files are
 named, might need two steps -- one to open the application and one to
 locate and open the PCAP file).

 It would be helpful to include a `wireshark` wrapper script to bridge this
 gap, perhaps something like this (which I put in
 `/usr/local/bin/wireshark` myself after stumbling across this "why can't I
 run wireshark" issue repeatedly while trying to analyse downloaded PCAP
 files...):

 {{{
 #! /bin/sh
 # This is a wrapper so we can run "wireshark FILE" and have it open.
 #
 # With wireshark3, MacPorts ships a native QT3 application (Wireshark.app)
 # instead of an X11 port, and calls it Wireshark.app, and puts it outside
 # the shell search path.
 #---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 if [ -n "${1}" ]; then
     exec open -a /Applications/MacPorts/Wireshark.app "$@"
 else
     exec open /Applications/MacPorts/Wireshark.app
 fi
 }}}

 That seems to work for me for both of the common cases that I regularly
 use, ie "wireshark" by itself will open the application, and "wireshark
 PCAP_FILE" will open the application for the PCAP file.
