bitfield parameter behavior appears inconsistent

[nigoroll]

Expected Behavior

Using none and all should work consistently, or a good reason why not should be apparent.

Current Behavior

Using none works for feature, but not for vsl_mask. Conversely, all works for vsl_mask, but not for feature.

(cli)

varnish> param.set feature none
200        

varnish> param.set vsl_mask none
106        
Missing '+' or '-' (none)

(attempting to set param 'vsl_mask' to 'none')
varnish> param.set vsl_mask all
200        

varnish> param.set feature all
106        
Missing '+' or '-' (all)

(attempting to set param 'feature' to 'all')

That's a problem created by the nature of bits parameters. Are they additive by default? They support "none" and otherwise "all".

[nigoroll]

But is that not just the way we print the value? If yes, why would it impact the availability of "none" and "all" for param.set?
