Prior to this patch the translation table code made assumptions about how
the routing protocol works and where its buffers are stored (to directly
modify them).
Each protocol now calls the tt code with the relevant pointers, thereby

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().

In case of a client X roaming from a generic node A to another node B, it is
possible that a third node C gets A's OGM but not B's. At this point in time, if
C wants to send data to X it will send a unicast packet destined to A. The
packet header will contain A's last ttvn (C got A's OGM and so it knows it).
The packet will travel towards A without being intercepted because the ttvn
contained in its header is the newest for A.
Once A will receive the packet, A's state will not report to be in a "roaming
phase" (because, after a roaming, once A sends out its OGM, all the changes are
committed and the node is considered not to be in the roaming state anymore)
and it will match the ttvn carried by the packet. Therefore there is no reason
for A to try to alter the packet's route, thus dropping the packet because the
destination client is not there anymore.
However, C is well aware that it's routing information towards the client X is
outdated as it received an OGM from A saying that the client roamed away.
Thanks to this detail, this patch introduces a small change in behaviour: as
long as C is in the state of not knowing the new location of client X it will
forward the traffic to its last known location using ttvn-1 of the destination.
By using an older ttvn node A will be forced to re-route the packet.
Intermediate nodes are also allowed to update the packet's destination as long
as they have the information about the client's new location.

All batman-adv packets have a common 3 byte header. It can be used to share
some code between different code paths, but it was never explicit stated that
this header has to be always the same for all packets. Therefore, new code
changes always have the problem that they may accidently introduce regressions
by moving some elements around.
A new structure is introduced that contains the common header and makes it
easier visible that these 3 bytes have to be the same for all on-wire packets.

(ttvn == 0) is currently used as initial condition. However this is not a good
idea because ttvn gets the vale zero each time after reaching the maximum value
(wrap around). For this reason a new flag is added in order to define whether a
node has an initialised table or not. Moreover, after invoking
tt_global_del_orig(), tt_initialised has to be set to false

When receiving a DEL change for a client due to a roaming event (change is
marked with TT_CLIENT_ROAM), each node has to check if the client roamed
to itself or somewhere else.
In the latter case the global entry is kept to avoid having no route at all
otherwise we can safely delete the global entry

In case of a client roaming from node A to node B, the latter have to mark the
corresponding global entry with TT_CLIENT_ROAM (instead of TT_CLIENT_PENDING).
Marking a global entry with TT_CLIENT_PENDING will end up in keeping such entry
forever (because this flag is only meant to be used with local entries and it is
never checked on global ones).
In the worst case (all the clients roaming to the same node A) the local and the
global table will contain exactly the same clients. Batman-adv will continue to
work, but the memory usage is duplicated.

Several functions in the translation table management code assume that the
tt_global_entry and tt_local_entry structures have the same initial fields such
as 'addr' and 'hash_entry'. To improve the code readability and to avoid
mistakes in later changes, a common substructure that substitute the shared
fields has been introduced (struct tt_common_entry).
Thanks to this modification, it has also been possible to slightly reduce the
code length by merging some functions like compare_ltt/gtt() and
tt_local/global_hash_find()

There are two reasons for this fix:
- the result of choose_orig() and vis_choose() is an index and therefore it can't
be negative. Hence it is correct to make the return type unsigned too.
- sizeof(int) may not be the same on ALL the architectures. Since we plan to use
choose_orig() as DHT hash function, we need to guarantee that, given the same
argument, the result is the same. Then it is correct to explicitly express
the size of the return type (and the second argument). Since the expected
length is currently 4, uint32_t is the most convenient choice.
