This patch changes the lowpan_header_decompress function by removing
inklayer related information from parameters. This is currently for
supporting short and extended address for iphc handling in 802154.
We don't support short address handling anyway right now, but there
exists already code for handling short addresses in
lowpan_header_decompress.
The address parameters are also changed to a void pointer, so 6LoWPAN
linklayer specific code can put complex structures as these parameters
and cast it again inside the generic code by evaluating linklayer type
before. The order is also changed by destination address at first and
then source address, which is the same like all others functions where
destination is always the first, memcpy, dev_hard_header,
lowpan_header_compress, etc.
This patch also moves the fetching of iphc values from 6LoWPAN linklayer
specific code into the generic branch.

This patch cleanups needed_headroom, needed_tailroom and hard_header_len
fields for wpan and lowpan interfaces.
For wpan interfaces the worst case mac header len should be part of
needed_headroom, currently this is set as hard_header_len, but
hard_header_len should be set to the minimum header length which xmit
call assumes and this is the minimum frame length of 802.15.4.
The hard_header_len value will check inside send callbacl of AF_PACKET
raw sockets.
For lowpan interfaces, if fragmentation isn't needed the skb will
call dev_hard_header for 802154 layer and queue it afterwards. This
happens without new skb allocation, so we need the same headroom and
tailroom lengths like 802154 inside 802154 6lowpan layer. At least we
assume as minimum header length an ipv6 header size.

This patch adds a generic next header compression layer interface. There
exists various methods to do a header compression after 6LoWPAN header
to save payload. This introduce a generic nhc header which allow a
simple adding of a new header compression format instead of a static
implementation inside the 6LoWPAN header compression and uncompression
function.
