With Todd J. Martin's (todd.martin@xxxxxxx) change to packet-bfd.c from
SVN18853 to SVN22825, he introduced two duplicate display filter fields when he
changed the PROTOABBREV from bfdcontrol to bfd.

I prefer the new PROTOABBREV of bfd over bfdcontrol, but the following 2
duplicates should be resolved and perhaps other fields should be reviewed as
well to make sure they are still aptly named.  The 2 duplicate fields are:

bfd.flags.p
bfd.flags.f
bfd.flags.d

Also, the descriptions for the p and d fields need to be swapped.

Lastly, since it's very difficult to manually check display filter fields by
hand for correctness, I think it would be very beneficial if someone could come
up with an automated way for checking display filter field syntax and checking
for duplicates.
