Document that the tt_to_tc() traffic-class numbers are the pre-computed composition of Table I-2 (traffic type -> priority) with Table 8-5 (priority -> traffic class). Note that Table 8-5 is the mapping for implementations without the credit-based shaper, so the helper's scope is clear; credit-based-shaper implementations use Table 34-1/34-2 instead. The existing kdoc cited Annex I Table I-1 as the mapping basis, but Table I-1 only partitions traffic types into classes; it does not assign the class numbers.
