The transtable_global debug file can show multiple entries for a single client
when multiple gateways exist. The chosen gateway isn't marked in the list and
therefore the user cannot easily debug the situation when there is a problem
with the currently used gateway.
The best gateway is now marked with "*" and secondary gateways are marked with
"+".

The "early client detection" mechanism must not add clients belonging
to other backbone nodes. Such clients must be reached by directly
using the LAN instead of the mesh.

Flags carried by a change_entry have to be always copied into the
client entry as they may contain important attributes (e.g.
TT_CLIENT_WIFI).
For instance, a client added by means of the "early detection
mechanism" has no flag set at the beginning, so they must be updated once the
proper ADD event is received.

This patch allows clients to roam multiple times within the same
originator-interval.
To enable this new feature two key aspects that have been introduced:
1) packets are always directed to the node that was originally
serving the roamed client which will then re-route the data
to the correct destination at any point in time;
2) the client flags handling mechanism has been properly modified
in order to allow multiple roamings withinin the same orig-int.
Therefore flags are now set properly even in this scenario.

batadv_tt_global_del_struct() function is not properly named.
Having a more meaningful name which reflects the current behavior helps other
developers to easily understand what it does.
A parameter has also been renamed in order to let the function header better fit

tt_poss_change is a node-wide flag which tells whether the node is in a roaming
state (a client recently moved to/away from it) in order to let it apply special
re-routing rules. However this flag does not give a clear idea of the current
state because it is not possible to understand *which client* is actually
involved in the roaming. For this reason a better approach has been chosen:
instead of using a node-wide variable, the roaming state is now given by a
per-tt_entry ROAM flag which, in case of packet coming through the node, tells
the node whether the real destination is in roaming state or not.
With this flag change, batadv_check_unicast_ttvn() has also been rearranged in
order to better fit the new re-routing logic and to be much more readable.

The ethernet header is 14 bytes long. Therefore, the data after it is not 4
byte aligned and may cause problems on systems without unaligned data access.

in case of client roaming a new global entry is added while a corresponding
local one is still present. In this case the node can safely pass the WIFI flag
from the local to the global entry.
This change is required to let the AP-isolation correctly working in case of
roaming: if a generic WIFI client C roams from node A to B, A adds a global
entry for C without adding any WIFI flag. The latter will be set only later,
once A has received C's advertisement from B. In this time period the
AP-Isolation (if enabled) would not correctly work since C is not marked as
WIFI, so allowing it to communicate with other WIFI clients.

in case of a new global entry added because of roaming, the roam_at field must
be properly initiated with the current time. This value will be later use to
purge this entry out on time out (if nobody claims it). Instead roam_at field
is now set to zero in this situation leading to an immediate purging of the
related entry.

With the current TT mechanism a new client joining the network is not
immediately able to communicate with other hosts because its MAC address has not
been announced yet. This situation holds until the first OGM containing its
joining event will be spread over the mesh network.
This behaviour can be acceptable in networks where the originator interval is a
small value (e.g. 1sec) but if that value is set to an higher time (e.g. 5secs)
the client could suffer from several malfunctions like DHCP client timeouts,
etc.
This patch adds an early detection mechanism that makes nodes in the network
able to recognise "not yet announced clients" by means of the broadcast packets
they emitted on connection (e.g. ARP or DHCP request). The added client will
then be confirmed upon receiving the OGM claiming it or purged if such OGM
is not received within a fixed amount of time.

The structure batadv_priv grows everytime a new feature is introduced. It gets
hard to find the parts of the struct that belongs to a specific feature. This
becomes even harder by the fact that not every feature uses a prefix in the
member name.
The variables for bridge loop avoidence, gateway handling, translation table
and visualization server are moved into separate structs that are included in
the bat_priv main struct.
