[PATCH] more data structures public in mongoose.h

Hi Ben,

Due to the license change, we can consider our version of Mongoose as
"RTEMS Project" maintained for now. I don't know if anyone is
maintaining a fork with an appropriate license.

Moving the struct definitions to the header file is sensible, although
the usual caveat is that users might have namespace conflicts.
