289ca20 by Jeff Morriss (jeff.morriss@xxxxxxxxxxxx):

    Update documentation of hf fields.
    
    - Specify the valid characters in hf abbreviations as suggested in
      https://ask.wireshark.org/questions/50444/braces-inside-abbreviated-name-fieldabbrev-of-header_field_info
    - Update the valid characters for protocol abbreviations too.
    - Remove a couple old (ancient?) hf substitutions (things to replace in the
      dissector template).  I don't think PARENT_SUBFIELD or ID_VALUE have been
      used in quite a while.
    - We no longer automatically add the protocol's abbreviation to the field's
      abbreviation (it's now the dissector-writer's job).
    - Abbreviations can no longer be empty strings (since
      a146f5a2e211aa414cba98ce0b0503a690695d34).
    - When talking about hf fields reference the substitution names (to make it
      easier to find additional documentation).
