Description
Currently it is possible to configure the flow key with the -p option (e.g. -p=0.0/0/1/1/0/0/0/0/0),
however this is not really intuitive for many and in many cases it is only required to ignore the VLAN.
I suggest to add a shortcut option for that.

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing -p flow-key option and its VLAN-handling behavior in nProbe. Define a concise shortcut for ignoring VLANs, then verify that it produces the same effective flow-key configuration and is reflected in the command-line help.
