Description
When using the -i option in conjunction with a PCAP input trace and ERF output traces an error occurs as shown below.
matt@argon:~$ tracemerge -i erf:new.erf pcap:out.pcap pcap:in.pcap trace_write_packet((null)): No erf type for packet
The problem occurs because when trace_set_direction is set on a packet read from a pcap trace the packet is promoted to the LINUX_SLL type. This type is not handled by the erf output routines, libtrace_to_erf_type in linktypes.c particularly, leading to the error shown above.

Libtrace didn't support demoting packets from LINUX_SLL to Ethernet when writing erf packets. Now fixed.
