Proposed changes

The byte slice syntax assumes a sequence of hex digits on the RHS of a display 
filter test. When the byte slice is only 1 byte long, the syntax looks strange:

wlan_mgt.cisco.ccx1.unknown[8:1] == 19

when the more natural method of using "0x19", like this, is a syntax error:

wlan_mgt.cisco.ccx1.unknown[8:1] == 0x19

The proposed diff allows hex integers to be expressed with "0x" when the byte 
slice is 1 byte long.
