[PATCH v3 04/16] graph: avoid overflowing comment buffer

[Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>]

The library builds a pcapng comment to put on each packet but
the buffer is not big enough for the largest possible graph
node name, etc. Change to use asprintf() to allow any
string length. Note, if asprintf() fails it is better to
still log the packet without comment so no data is lost.
