Patch to add friendly names for pcap traces

Attached is a patch that gives out more meaningful names for trace files.
Instead of filename-nodeid-deviceid, which can get quite cumbersome if you have
lots of devices, this one uses format filename-nodename-devname if they have
been given via Names::Add facility.

For Nodes, simply use 

Ptr<Node> TestBoxNode;
Names::Add("TestBox", TestBoxNode)

For devices, you need to specify the name belongs to specific node (so you can
use e.g. "eth0" for multiple nodes), like so:

Ptr<NetDevice> TestDev = TestBoxNode->GetDevice(0);
Names::Add(TestBoxNode, "eth0", TestDev);

End result what you'll see when you use e.g. 

PointToPointHelper::EnablePcapAll ("testtrace");

will be that instead of testrace-0-0.pcap, you get testrace-TestBox-eth0.pcap

...which I think is quite useful addition.
