Focus analysis on 802.11 headers only, ignore encrypted payloads

- Remove IP/TCP/UDP field extraction (payloads are encrypted)
- Extract 802.11 frame control fields: protected, retry, duration
- Analyze QoS Data frames (type 2, subtype 8) which iperf uses
- Show encryption status and frame characteristics
- Update field numbers for radiotap.present (now field 11)
