This commit makes some changes that are not user-visible, such as
moving mf_from_id() into the header, and some that are (adding new
names for fields).  I would prefer to do those in separate patches.

I never meant for nw_tos_shifted to be a user-visible name, and so it
is intentionally not documented.  But if we are inventing a new and
more user-friendly name for it, then perhaps we should document the
new name.  I think that we can drop the old name at the same time (and
then we'll need to update at least one test that uses the old name).

Thanks,

Ben.
