* Add addon module for B.A.T.M.A.N. advanced interface configuration.
This commit adds support for configuring B.A.T.M.A.N. advanced interfaces
with ifupdown2. B.A.T.M.A.N. advanced is a protocol to build Layer2 based
mesh networks with. It's supported in the Linux kernel and thus available
in many Linux environments.
A configuration could look like this
auto bat0
iface bat0
batman-ifaces eth1 eth2.23
batman-ifaces-ignore-regex .*_nodes
batman-hop-penalty 23
#
address 192.0.2.42/24
where »bat0« would be the local connection to the mesh network.
The interfaces »eth1« and »eth2.23« would be used by the B.A.T.M.A.N. adv.
protocol to communicate to other member of the mesh network.
Any interfaces matching the »ifaces-ignore-regex« will be gently ignored
by ifquery and ifreload as there might be some tunnels or interfaces
added to the mesh network by other means which should not be removed by
any subsequent ifreload run.
The »hop-penalty» parameter set the penalty of this node within the mesh
network.

* addons: batman_adv: replacing rtnetlink by netlink api call and iproute2 instantiation fix
These changes are due to modifications we introduced in debian-prep2.
We no longer use the rtnetlink_api but a new one "netlink" build on top of python-nlmanager.
* Reflect upstream change where flags are stored.
