Draft: prefs: Make auto-preferences work with dissectors with description

John Thacker requested to merge johnthacker/wireshark:decode_as_prefs into master

For dissectors with descriptions, the description is used instead of the protocol short name for looking up in the decode as table.

Also display the description to the user in the generated prefs (even though it's something a bit redundant.)

As descriptions allow more than one dissector for a given protocol to be registered to the same table (something that PINOs have been used for in the past), we need to change the auto-generated preference names to incorporate the dissector names.

Fix #19669
