Dave Collins 4deb922c9d Export command constants.
Although it is possible to get the command name for each msg type by
creating an instances of the type and calling the Command method against
it, it's slightly more efficient to simply allows callers to have direct
access to the exported constants.

This is currently really useful for the reject message since callers need
to be able to examine the command type to determine whether or not the
hash field needs to be included.
