[flow-tools] flow-capture pidfile error

I am running flow-capture as a non-root user - whenever it starts up it
complains about being unable to write a pidfile to /var/run.  There
seems to be no way to disable that or to redirect it to a different
directory - other than redefining CAPTURE_PIDFILE and rebuilding.
A minor nit, but it would be nice to have a pidfile command line option
to either rename or disable the pidfile.
