Fields without names were never correct.  Wireshark just didn't abort on that
case until recently.

Given that not all dissectors that register fields are part of the Wireshark
distribution, it should probably, rather than aborting in that case, report an
error to the user, noting that there's a dissector bug, and have an option,
controlled by an environment variable, to cause a crash (so that, in the build
process, we can detect buggy dissectors adding fields of that sort).
