Queuing disciplines without classes

A queuing discipline that is specified directly inside another queuing discipline (e.g. ingress or egress), without a class between them, implies creation of an unnumbered, parameter-less class, which then contains that queuing discipline.

egress {
    red ...;
}

is equivalent to

egress {
    class { red ... }
}

Note that the latter form is now deprecated.
