net: Add and document network messages in protocol.h

- Avoids string typos (by making the compiler check)
- Makes it easier to grep for handling/generation of a certain message type
- Refer directly to documentation by following the symbol in IDE
- Move list of valid message types to protocol.cpp:
    protocol.cpp is a more appropriate place for this, and having
    the array there makes it easier to keep things consistent.
