I really don't like this much because it means that old dissectors will
be confused, and the HT information is at like three different places...

We really should make an HT amendment for radiotap on the radiotap list.
Once that works again. grmbl.

For now I guess we can put this patch into -testing but I'd prefer not
letting it migrate to the official tree, so that we avoid tools starting
to rely on this totally weird information.
