Subject: Names of constants for sinfo_flags

Dear all,

the socket API ID currently defines the constants used for the 
sinfo_flags
field of the sctp_sndrcvinfo structure to be

MSG_UNORDERED
MSG_ADDR_OVER
MSG_ABORT
MSG_EOF
MSG_SENDALL

which share the same naming convention as the constants used for the
msg_flags field of the msghdr structure.

Therefore I'm suggesting to rename these constants to

SCTP_UNORDERED
SCTP_ADDR_OVER
SCTP_ABORT
SCTP_EOF
SCTP_SENDALL

This does avoid polluting the MSG_* namespace and makes it also
clearer for the user where these flags belong to.

Best regards
Michael
