In order to understand  where a broadcast packet is coming from and use
this information to detect not yet announced clients, this patch modifies the
interface_rx() function by passing a new argument: the orig node
corresponding to the node that originated the received packet (if known).
This new argument if not NULL for broadcast packets only (other packets does not
have source field).

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.

When enabling promiscuous mode, tt queries for other hosts might be
received. Before this patch, "foreign" tt queries were processed like
any other query and thus forwarded to its destination again and thereby
causing a loop.

This patch adds a check to drop foreign tt queries.

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.

If this call fails, some of the orig_nodes spaces may have been
resized for the increased number of interface, and some may not.
If we would just continue with the larger number of interfaces,
this would lead to access to not allocated memory later.

We better check the return code, and don't add the interface if
no memory is available. OTOH, keeping some of the orig_nodes
with too much memory allocated should hurt no one (except for
a few too many bytes allocated).

Memory is allocated for 'tt_change_node' with kmalloc().
'tt_change_node' may go out of scope really being used for anything
(except have a few members initialized) if we hit the 'del:' label.
This patch makes sure we free the memory in that case.

If the gateway functionality is used, some broadcast packets (DHCP
requests) may be transmitted as unicast packets. As the bridge loop
avoidance code now only considers the payload Ethernet destination,
it may drop the DHCP request for clients which are claimed by other
backbone gateways, because it falsely infers from the broadcast address
that the right backbone gateway should havehandled the broadcast.

Fix this by checking and delegating the batman-adv packet type used
for transmission.

The "bat_" prefix in the source files implementing the batman-adv sysfs and
debugfs interface doesn't have a special meaning and are only used by these
files and files that implement the actual B.A.T.M.A.N. path finding algorithm.

The prefix is better suited to mark files that are used to implement the main
part of the path finding. All other files should not use it and therefore gets
renamed.
