bitarray.c consists mostly of functionality that is already available as part
of the standard kernel API. batman-adv could use architecture optimized code
and reduce the binary size by switching to the standard functions.

char was used in different places to store information without really
using the characteristics of that data type or by ignoring the fact that
char has not a well defined signedness.

count_real_packets() in batman-adv assumes char is signed, and returns -1
through it:

batman-adv uses pointers which are marked as const and should not
violate that type qualifier by passing it to functions which force a
cast to the non-const version.

This patch replaces the static bat0 interface with a dynamic/abstracted
approach. It is now possible to create multiple batX interfaces by
assigning hard interfaces to them. Each batX interface acts as an
independent mesh network. A soft interface is removed once no hard
interface references it any longer.

The Kernighan algorithm is not able to calculate the number of set bits
in parallel and the compiler cannot replace it with optimized
instructions.

The kernel provides specialised functions for each cpu which can either
use a software implementation or hardware instruction depending on the
target cpu.

We include different header files indirectly to the same source file.
This creates weird compiler errors from time to time. Include guards
should prefend that functions/variables/... gets redefined by itself.

This patch changes the sequence number range from 8 or 16 bit to 32 bit.
This should avoid problems with the sequence number sliding window algorithm
which we had seen in the past for broadcast floods or malicious packet
injections. We can not assure 100% security with this patch, but it is quite
an improvement over the old 16 bit sequence numbers:

 * expected window size can be increased (4096 -> 65536)
 * 64k packets in the right order would now be needed to cause a loop,
   which seems practically impossible.

Furthermore, a TTL field has been added to the broadcast packet type, just to
make sure.

These changes required to increase the compatibility level once again.
