With the current TT mechanism a new client joining the network is not
immediately able to communicate with other hosts because its MAC address has not
been announced yet. This situation holds until the first OGM containing its
joining event will be spread over the mesh network.
This behaviour can be acceptable in networks where the originator interval is a
small value (e.g. 1sec) but if that value is set to an higher time (e.g. 5secs)
the client could suffer from several malfunctions like DHCP client timeouts,
etc.
This patch adds an early detection mechanism that makes nodes in the network
able to recognise "not yet announced clients" by means of the broadcast packets
they emitted on connection (e.g. ARP or DHCP request). The added client will
then be confirmed upon receiving the OGM claiming it or purged if such OGM
is not received within a fixed amount of time.

The structure batadv_priv grows everytime a new feature is introduced. It gets
hard to find the parts of the struct that belongs to a specific feature. This
becomes even harder by the fact that not every feature uses a prefix in the
member name.
The variables for bridge loop avoidence, gateway handling, translation table
and visualization server are moved into separate structs that are included in
the bat_priv main struct.

During an OGM-interval (time between two different OGM sendings) the same client
could roam away and then roam back to us. In this case the node would add two
events to the events list (that is going to be sent appended to the next OGM). A
DEL one and an ADD one. Obviously they will only increase the overhead (either in
the air and on the receiver side) and eventually trigger wrong states/events
without producing any real effect.
For this reason we can safely delete any ADD event with its related DEL one.

bug introduced with cea194d90b11aff7fc289149e4c7f305fad3535a
In the current TT code, when a TT_Response containing a full table is received
from an originator, first the node purges all the clients for that originator in
the global translation-table and then merges the newly received table.
During the purging phase each client deletion is done by means of a call_rcu()
invocation and at the end of this phase the global entry counter for that
originator is set to 0. However the invoked rcu function decreases the global
entry counter for that originator by one too and since the rcu invocation is
likely to be postponed, the node will end up in first setting the counter to 0
and then decreasing it one by one for each deleted client.
This bug leads to having a wrong global entry counter for the related node, say
X. Then when the node with the broken counter will answer to a TT_REQUEST on
behalf of node X, it will create faulty TT_RESPONSE that will generate an
unrecoverable situation on the node that asked for the full table recover.
The non-recoverability is given by the fact that the node with the broken
counter will keep answering on behalf of X because its knowledge about X's state
(ttvn + tt_crc) is correct.
To solve this problem the counter is not explicitly set to 0 anymore and the
counter decrement is performed right before the invocation of call_rcu().

Added additional counters in a bat_stats structure, which are exported
through the ethtool api. The counters are specific to batman-adv and
includes:
forwarded packets and bytes
management packets and bytes (aggregated OGMs at this point)
translation table packets
New counters are added by extending "enum bat_counters" in types.h and
adding corresponding descriptive string(s) to bat_counters_strings in
soft-iface.c.
Counters are increased by calling batadv_add_counter() and incremented
by one by calling batadv_inc_counter().

In case of a client X roaming from a generic node A to another node B, it is
possible that a third node C gets A's OGM but not B's. At this point in time, if
C wants to send data to X it will send a unicast packet destined to A. The
packet header will contain A's last ttvn (C got A's OGM and so it knows it).
The packet will travel towards A without being intercepted because the ttvn
contained in its header is the newest for A.
Once A will receive the packet, A's state will not report to be in a "roaming
phase" (because, after a roaming, once A sends out its OGM, all the changes are
committed and the node is considered not to be in the roaming state anymore)
and it will match the ttvn carried by the packet. Therefore there is no reason
for A to try to alter the packet's route, thus dropping the packet because the
destination client is not there anymore.
However, C is well aware that it's routing information towards the client X is
outdated as it received an OGM from A saying that the client roamed away.
Thanks to this detail, this patch introduces a small change in behaviour: as
long as C is in the state of not knowing the new location of client X it will
forward the traffic to its last known location using ttvn-1 of the destination.
By using an older ttvn node A will be forced to re-route the packet.
Intermediate nodes are also allowed to update the packet's destination as long
as they have the information about the client's new location.
