support "!=" operator in JOSM filters

[mkoniecz]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Attempt to show, say, only boundary=administrative
2. Add exclusion filter boundary!=administrative
3. Become confused

What is the expected result?

It works

What happens instead?

One needs to use -boundary=administrative.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible.

!= operator is fairly standard for "not equals to"

Using more than one operator for the same thing is not a good idea in my opinion. I would get even more confused if I could use != and - as well. Can't they decide which one wanted to use and included both? Why? Are there any differences?

JOSM is already enough complex. And after all, you have the help just two lines below the search field.
