Snoop (and maybe some other sniffers) tag replies with "This is a
response to frame XXX".

"This is a response to frame XXX" could probably be added to the
protocol tree at the appropriate point (in the subtree for the protocol
that recognizes it as such); with some additional work, we could
probably add "The response to this is in frame XXX" as well.

We could also then reserve a value for this property meaning "this is a
{request,response} but we don't know {which frame is the response,which
frame it's a response to}".

Then finding all requests and replies would involve searching for frames
with one of those properties; we could also then provide a menu item to
find the request for/reply to a given packet.
