Each flow already has a type field. This implies the protocol the flow
represents, but also has more information: we have two ways to represent
TCP flows, "tap" and "spliced". In order to generalise some of the
flow
mechanics, we'll need to determine a flow's protocol in terms of the IP
(L4) protocol number.
Introduce a constant table and helper macro to derive this from the flow
type.
