The standard kernel API to add new virtual interfaces and attach other
interfaces to it is rtnl-link. batman-adv supports it since v3.10. This
functionality should be used instead of the legacy batman-adv-only sysfs
interface.

A new log level has been added to concentrate messages regarding DAT: ARP
snooping, requests, response and DHT related messages.
The new log level is named BATADV_DBG_DAT

This is especially useful if there are no claims yet, but we still want
to know which gateways are using bridge loop avoidance in the network.

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().

- Add routing_algo
- Remove date from README:
The date has to be updated when a patch touches the README. Therefore, nearly
every feature will modify this date. It can happens quite often that not only
one feature is currently in development or waiting on the mailinglist. This
creates merge conflicts when applying a patchset.
The date itself doesn't provide any additional information when this file is
only available in a release tarball or as part of a SCM repository.

This second version of the bridge loop avoidance for batman-adv
avoids loops between the mesh and a backbone (usually a LAN).
By connecting multiple batman-adv mesh nodes to the same ethernet
segment a loop can be created when the soft-interface is bridged
into that ethernet segment. A simple visualization of the loop
involving the most common case - a LAN as ethernet segment:
node1 <-- LAN --> node2
| |
wifi <-- mesh --> wifi
Packets from the LAN (e.g. ARP broadcasts) will circle forever from
node1 or node2 over the mesh back into the LAN.
With this patch, batman recognizes backbone gateways, nodes which are
part of the mesh and backbone/LAN at the same time. Each backbone
gateway "claims" clients from within the mesh to handle them
exclusively. By restricting that only responsible backbone gateways
may handle their claimed clients traffic, loops are effectively
avoided.
