Zipped spreadsheet of questionable display filter field names.

Build Information:
Wireshark 1.0.1

There are quite a large number of display filter fields whose names are
questionable.  I've compiled a spreadsheet against Wireshark 1.0.1.  As I
mention in both the spreadsheet and the post to the developer's list, I defined
"questionable" as follows:

1) Any field that is not exactly prefixed with its PROTOABBREV and a period.
2) Any protocol that has zero registered fields.
3) Any field that simply doesn't look similar (stands out) to other fields for
that protocol.
4) Fields with apparent redundancies in their names.
5) PROTABBREV itself is a questionable name, (e.g., it contains a period).

The list was compiled manually so there are bound to be "false positives" as
well as display filter fields that are not reported but should have been.  Due
to the large number of fields involved, you'll understand if I missed some or
included any that shouldn't have been.
