It really can be non-present, obviously SIG-B common field is already
variable length :)

Anyway, that proposal missed a number of things and didn't really make
any sense, here's a new one:

http://www.radiotap.org/fields/HE
http://www.radiotap.org/fields/HE-MU-common
http://www.radiotap.org/fields/HE-MU-user

One thing I like less about this is that the bitrate of the MPDU will
be recorded in the "HE" field for SU/trigger-based PPDUs, but in the
"HE-MU-user" field for MU PPDUs. But since all the data is present, I
guess that's actually fine.
