doc/protocol.rst: remove documentation about `==` matching substrings
I added this sentence in commit
5271e81ebe7ee88ad89cd49a5ddcd8a5e04ef7ae, but this was merely
documented the legacy status quo, which has always been undocumented
for old-style filters.
But for new filters, using "==" for sub strings was a surprising
"feature", which I removed in commit
ac0852b4e33033d73770c610154ddb242f6c1119.
