Add capture parser

This commit adds contrib/message-capture/message-capture-parser.py, a python
script to be used alongside -capturemessages to parse the captured
messages.

It is complete with arguments and will parse any file given, sorting the
messages in the files when creating the output.  If an output file is
specified with -o or --output, it will dump the messages in json format
to that file, otherwise it will print to stdout.

The small change to the unused msg_generic is to bring it in line with
the other message classes, purely to avoid a bug in the future.
