Add support for BASE_VALS_NO_UNKNOWN
BASE_VALS_NO_UNKNOWN is a special value_string value for only a single
(maybe 2) numerical value(s). If a field has the numerical value
that doesn't match anything in the value_string, just the number
is supplied for the field (no "Unknown")
Dissectors that had this use case have been converted in the patch.
