A patch for trunk only.

I think this patch improves dissection further by:

1) Using durid terminology from the IEEE specification
2) Allowing one to filter on the entire duration/id field, whether it's a
duration, aid, reserved or just a fixed value.
3) Illustrating in all cases exactly which bits of the field are applicable to
the value.

I did not want to commit this patch first, because I do not think it's suitable
for backporting, due to the changes with the display filter names.  Kindly
review and if it's useful, I can commit it (to trunk only).

BTW, one thing that does confuse me a bit is the following:

<quote>
b) In frames transmitted by the PC and non-QoS STAs, during the CFP, the
Duration/ID field is set to a fixed value of 32 768.
</quote>

The confusion is that it doesn't indicate what the value represents - a
duration, and ID, or nothing.  Since I did not see any indication of it being
either a duration or an ID, I treat it differently as just a value.
