Both NOP-IN and NOP-OUT contain a flag requesting a response (i.e., send the
other sort of NOP back).  If every NOP has that flag set, the two sides will
trade
NOPs forever.  Forbidding that flag to be set when a NOP is sent in response
to a NOP is the most direct way of making sure this doesn't happen.
