Staging: batman-adv: layer2 unicast packet fragmentation

This patch implements a simple layer2 fragmentation to allow traffic
exchange over network interfaces with a MTU smaller than 1500 bytes. The
fragmentation splits the big packets into two parts and marks the frames
accordingly. The receiving end buffers the packets to reassemble the
orignal packet before passing it to the higher layers. This feature
makes it necessary to modify the batman-adv encapsulation for unicast
packets by adding a sequence number, flags and the originator address.
This modifcation is part of a seperate packet type for fragemented
packets to keep the original overhead as low as possible. This patch
enables the feature by default to ensure the data traffic can travel
through the network. But it also prints a warning to notify the user
about the performance implications.

Note: Fragmentation should be avoided at all costs since it has a
dramatic impact on the performance, especially when it comes wifi
networks. Instead of a single packet, 2 packets have to be sent! Not
only valuable airtime is wasted but also packetloss decreases the
throughput. A link with 50% packetloss and fragmentation enabled is
pretty much unusable.
