1. Restore the functionality of <Ctrl>A and <Ctrl>X to the filter textbox.  
2. Assign intuitive shortcuts without consuming any new shortcut letters.  
3. Add 'Un-Time Reference All Packets' to the menu.
4. Disallow the marking or ignoring of all packets in the capture.  
5. Make the Mark/Ignore/Time Reference-related menu items context sensitive. 
6. Add 'ref_time_count' to the capture_file structure
7. Utilize marked/ignored/ref_time_count vars to prevent needless looping thru
   the entire packet list by exiting the loop when it becomes zero. 

This is a superset of Bug 4799. 

NOTES:

1. The functionality of <Ctrl>A (select all text) and <Ctrl>X (cut selected
   text) is consistent in Windows, OSX, KDE, and GNOME 
   (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_keyboard_shortcuts). Aside
   from the need for the Cut shortcut in the filter TB, the assignment of
   <Ctrl>X to Ignore has caused the unintended (and often unnoticed) ignoring
   of packets in our group. 

2. Use "M" for all Mark items, "D" for all Ignore items, and "T" for all Time
   Reference items.  Use "N" and "B" for all search-related items: 
   <Ctrl><Shift>N|B - next/previous Mark (the current assignments)
   <Ctrl><Alt>N|B   - next/previous Time Reference 

4. One would never want to mark or ignore all packets in the capture even if
   the capture is merged with another because those attributes are erased 
   when merged.
