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.
