netif.h: describe request/response structures in terms of binary layout

In RFC style, rather than relying on the implicit assumptions of a
particular C ABI.

I have also confirmed, using the Python gdb extension technique in
[0], that the struct offsets (in a Linux binary at least) are the same
as described here.

I took the opportunity to also confirm that x86_32, x86_64, arm32 and
arm64 are all the same.

This highlighted that struct netif_rx_request was missing some
explicit padding, which is added here.

Lastly, fixup some struct names to allow the generated docs to
properly hyperlink, mainly by adding the _t to type names where
appropriate, but also s/netif_tx_extra/netif_extra_info_t/.
