Meddled with by Andy Green since signed-off: made it apply to current
wireless-dev, took out comments for radiotap types not in current wireless-dev
Document that all fields must be little endian. Use annotated types
even in the comments. Consistently use shorter type names (u8, s8).
Realign the comments.
