The upcoming patches for 64-bit extensions requires various points in the protocol to make decisions based on what was negotiated. While we could easily add a 'bool extended_headers' alongside the existing 'bool structured_reply', this does not scale well if more modes are added in the future. Better is to expose the mode enum added in the recent commit bfe04d0a out to a wider use in the code base. Where the code previously checked for structured_reply being set or clear, it now prefers checking for an inequality; this works because the nodes are in a continuum of increasing abilities, and allows us to touch fewer places if we ever insert other modes in the middle of the enum. There should be no semantic change in this patch. Signed-off-by:
