flow_table.h, the lower level flow header relies on having the struct
definitions for every protocol specific flow type - so far that means
tcp_conn.h. It doesn't include it itself, so tcp_conn.h must be included
before flow_table.h.
That's ok for now, but as we use the flow table for more things,
flow_table.h will need the structs for all of them, which means the
protocol specific .c files would need to include tcp_conn.h _and_ the
equivalents for every other flow type before flow_table.h every time,
which is weird.
So, although we *mostly* lean towards the include style where .c files need
to handle the include dependencies, in this case it makes more sense to
have flow_table.h include all the protocol specific headers it needs.
