Create a more modular type system for the FT_* types. Put them
into epan/ftypes. Re-write display filter routines using Lemon parser instead of yacc. Besides using a different tool, the new grammar is much simpler, while the display filter engine itself is more powerful and more easily extended. Add dftest executable, to test display filter "bytecode" generation. Add option to "configure" to build dftest or randpkt, both of which are not built by default. Implement Ed Warnicke's ideas about dranges in the new display filter and ftype code. Remove type FT_TEXT_ONLY in favor of FT_NONE, and have protocols registered as FT_PROTOCOL. Thus, FT_NONE is used only for simple labels in the proto tree, while FT_PROTOCOL is used for protocols. This was necessary for being able to make byte slices (ranges) out of protocols, like "frame[0:3]" Win32 Makefile.nmake's will be added tonight. svn path=/trunk/; revision=2967
