In case of wireless interface retrieve the throughput by
querying cfg80211. To perform this call a separate work
must be scheduled because the function may sleep and this
is not allowed within an RCU protected context (RCU in this
case is used to iterate over all the neighbours).
Use ethtool to retrieve information about an Ethernet link
like HALF/FULL_DUPLEX and advertised bandwidth (e.g.
100/10Mbps).
The metric is updated each time a new ELP packet is sent,
this way it is possible to timely react to a metric
variation which can imply (for example) a neighbour
disconnection.

To enable ELP to send probing packets over wireless links
only if needed, batman-adv must keep track of the last time
it sent a unicast packet towards every neighbour.
For this purpose a 2 main changes are introduced:
1) a new member of the elp_neigh_node structure stores the
last time a unicast packet was sent towards this neighbour;
2) a wrapper function for sending unicast packets is
implemented. This function will simply update the member
describe din point 1) and then forward the packet to the
real sending routine.
Point 2) implies that any code-path leading to a unicast
sending now has to use the new wrapper.

Add the support for recognising new originators in the
network and rebroadcast their OGMs.

This is the initial implementation of the new OGM protocol
(version 2). It has been designed to work on top of the
newly added ELP.
In the previous version the OGM protocol was used to both
measure link qualities and flood the network with the metric
information. In this version the protocol is in charge of
the latter task only, leaving the former to ELP.
This means being able to decouple the interval used by the
neighbor discovery from the OGM broadcasting, which revealed
to be costly in dense networks and needed to be relaxed so
leading to a less responsive routing protocol.
