nbd: Treat flags vs. command type as separate fields
Current upstream NBD documents that requests have a 16-bit flags, followed by a 16-bit type integer; although older versions mentioned only a 32-bit field with masking to find flags. Since the protocol is in network order (big-endian over the wire), the ABI is unchanged; but dealing with the flags as a separate field rather than masking will make it easier to add support for upcoming NBD extensions that increase the number of both flags and commands. Improve some comments in nbd.h based on the current upstream NBD protocol (https://github.com/yoe/nbd/blob/master/doc/proto.md), and touch some nearby code to keep checkpatch.pl happy.
