Description: Removing the ff. prefix for facet filters makes the filter more readable and natural. The few values allowed are listed in an enum and the query parameters can simply be checked if those exist.

For example
http://jawa.gbif.org:8080/checklistbank-search-ws/search?q=Bedouin&CHECKLIST=d7dddbf4-2cf0-4f39-9b2a-bb099caae36c

instead of http://jawa.gbif.org:8080/checklistbank-search-ws/search?q=Bedouin&facet=CHECKLIST&ff.CHECKLIST=d7dddbf4-2cf0-4f39-9b2a-bb099caae36c

it would be nice if the facet filter names would be the same as the query parameters we use in other services.
For the CHECKLIST facet for example this is usually the query parameter datasetKey.
Maybe add a new property to the facet enum that tells us the query parameter to use?
