This patch makes it possible to decide whether to include DAT within the
batman-adv binary or not.
It is extremely useful when the user wants to reduce the size of the resulting
module by cutting off any not needed feature.

Since batman-adv cannot inter-operate with the host ARP table, this patch
introduces a batman-adv private storage for ARP entries exchanged within DAT.
This storage will represent the node local cache in the DAT protocol.

This is especially useful if there are no claims yet, but we still want
to know which gateways are using bridge loop avoidance in the network.

The "bat_" prefix in the source files implementing the batman-adv sysfs and
debugfs interface doesn't have a special meaning and are only used by these
files and files that implement the actual B.A.T.M.A.N. path finding algorithm.
The prefix is better suited to mark files that are used to implement the main
part of the path finding. All other files should not use it and therefore gets
renamed.
