I changed it to go back to "STAT-CB" for the short name, and to make
"statnotify" the filter name, as the fields of the protocol have names
that begin with "statnotify.".
The filter name currently can't use "-" to be useful, as the display
filter parser can't handle hyphens in protocol names, but the short name
doesn't have to; is there a need to have the filter name be a
lower-cased version of the short name? I'm not sure that's the case for
all protocols.

Checked in, with additional changes to handle the case where a frame
contains messages that don't run past the end followed by one that does
and where a reassembled chunk has, at the end, a message that runs past
the end of that chunk (because the reassembly was for an earlier
message).
It still doesn't seem to correctly handle a capture I have with
retransmissions; I'll have to look at that.
Do we need to have separate options, for each protocol, to enable
higher-level-PDU reassembly? That may get clumsy as more protocols add
this capability; I'm inclined to have it controlled only by a TCP flag,
just as IP reassembly is controlled only by an IP flag.
