It's strictly not necessary to define bond_marker_header in an include
file because it's only used in ad_lacpdu_send().  Remove that definition
and use an unnamed structure instead just for our purpose.  Which also
gives a chance to use shorter names which are still descriptive.

As the port and marker are left unmodified I've made them const.

As that function is defined before used I've left out the forward
declaration.

Also cleanup that function a bit by removing useless braces around
one-liners and turn C++ style comments into C comments.
