Again, the err_info returned from wtap_read() and wtap_seek_read() is a

g_mallocated string, so it's not const.

Fix a comment to reflect reality (err_info is some additional
information about the error returned by Wiretap, e.g. some gory details
about the error, mainly useful to developers and support people).
