I've checked that in, and make the ONC RPC "matching reply is in this
frame" and "matching request is in this frame" protocol tree entries be
FT_FRAMENUM fields; currently, the only menu item for going to that
frame is a right-button menu item.

The number base for an FT_FRAMENUM field is irrelevant - it's always
treated as unsigned decimal.

Other fields containing frame numbers (including the frame numbers in
the display of fragments) should probably be changed to use this.
