The old document for usbip protocol is misleading and hard to read:
* Some fields in header are incorrect
* Explanation of some fields are unclear or even wrong
* Padding of header (namely all headers have the same length) is
not explicitly pointed out, which is crucial for stream protocol
like TCP
Major changes:
* Document the correct field as described in the codebase.
* Document the padding in usbip headers. This is crucial for TCP
stream hence these padding should be explicitly point out.
In code these padding are implemented by a union of all headers.
* Fix two FIXME related to usbip unlink and Document the behavior
of unlink in different situation.
* Clarify some field with more accurate explanation, like those
fields associated with URB. Some constraints are extracted from
code.
* Delete specific transfer_flag doc in usbip as it should be
documented by the URB doc in Documentation/driver-api/usb/URB.rst
* Add data captured from wire as example

While there are a mix of things here, most of the stuff
were written from Kernel developer's PoV. So, add them to
the driver-api book.
A follow up for this patch would be to move documents from
there that are specific to sysadmins, adding them to the
admin-guide.
