Cleanup on MAC control message type(16.2.3)

1. Introduction
The table 678[1] lists up all MAC control messages but does not have their message type. ( even if I guess
column 'No.' is for message type, it coinsides with the Annex P. For example, in annex P the message type 0
is mapped onto the first message and 1 onto the second message and so on. but 'No.' in the table starts from
1. Hence I suggest replacing the name 'No.' with 'message type' and making the number in the table starts
from 0..
2. Text Proposal
Modify the table 678 at page 70 to 74 as follows
======================== Start of Proposed Text =====================
[NOTE to editor. Please replace the values in the first column’Message type’ with their
values minus 1.]
