It's a little bit strange to have too suffixed flags keeping only two
unsuffixed, unless removing suffix of all other flags. :-/
But suffix is very helpful when we are using many flags, because suffix
help us to know what feature a flag belongs to, so it would be nice if we
could rename it to MHD_USE_SUPPRESS*ED*_DATE ("use suppressed date" makes
sense) and MHD_USE_*END*_FLAG ("use end flag" makes sense too).
I had a problem in my project, it didn't compile it because a flag was
renamed, luckily I checked the GIT log and found some flags renamed, so a
major version should be released warning these last changes was done in the
MHD interface.
