[PATCH] more data structures public in mongoose.h

[Ben Gras]

Hi Nick & rtems-devel,

I could've sworn I needed the struct mg_connection declaration even to
just declare a function with its argument - but just to verify I tried
it again and I'm fine. So, for now, I'm retracting the patch.

Thanks for the tip!
