Set display filter strings back to NULL after use.

The attached patch appears to fix the reported problem with the display filter
used during File->Open, but I also found that it occurs during File->Merge, so
the patch attempts to fix that as well.

The patch also makes the dfilter_[open|merge]_str's static since they aren't
used outside of file_dlg_win32.c.

I'm not 100% sure this is the best/right way to fix this problem though, but it
appears to work.

One other "problem" I found while testing is that if you apply a filter during
File->Open such that not all packets from the file are displayed, then do a
File->Save As, all packets from the original file are saved, regardless of
whether they were displayed to begin with or not.  Is that the intended
functionality?  It seems counter-intuitive to me.
