Add a new attribute for B.A.T.M.A.N. advanced interfaces to control the
B.A.T.M.A.N. advanced routing algorithm to be used when setting up new
interfaces. As the routing algorithm must be set before an interface is
created, it needs special handling and can't be implemented as a common
attribute. D'oh.

The new code base supports installation via pypi so we need to update the
imports statement.
It's also good practice to use the existing IO apis to read/write and execute
sub-commands, those API will do error handling and logging.

batman wasn't in master-next so it got removed during the last merge
this commit adds it back to master.
See PR #12
From Maximilian Wilhelm:
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.
