Have Ethereal, when invoked as "ethereal-dump-fields", dump out a
glossary of display filter symbols, just as it does with "-G", except
that, as it can discover that it was so invoked before even looking at
the command-line arguments, it needn't even bother calling "gtk_init()"
to process those command-line arguments GTK+ cares about, and thus
needn't do any X stuff at all when so invoked.
That allows Ethereal to be built in an environment where you don't have
an X server, and, if your connection to your X server is slow, allows
you to built it faster.
Get rid of the "-G" flag, as it had only a somewhat specialized use.
