This changes the package version string so it does not start
with "openwrt", but with the base version we are modifying:
So far: openwrt-2019.4-1
Now: 2019.4-openwrt-1
Since it's us modifying version 2019.4 (in this case), this order
is more convenient (and also closer to what the kernel version
string does).

replaced with device type specific subcommand prefixes:

The state of slave interfaces are handled differently depending on whether
the interface is up or not. All active interfaces (IFF_UP) will transmit
OGMs. But for B.A.T.M.A.N. IV, also non-active interfaces are scheduling
(low TTL) OGMs on active interfaces. The code which setups and schedules
the OGMs must therefore already be called when the interfaces gets added as
slave interface and the transmit function must then check whether it has to
send out the OGM or not on the specific slave interface.
But v2016.3 moved the setup code from the enable function to the activate
function. The latter is called either when the added slave was already up
when batadv_hardif_enable_interface processed the new interface or when a
NETDEV_UP event was received for this slave interfac. As result, each
NETDEV_UP would schedule a new OGM worker for the interface and thus OGMs
would be send a lot more than expected.

Although batman-adv config is cycled in config_foreach, changes
are made in the network config. Thus, this one has to be committed.
Signed-off-by: Adrian Schmutzler <freifunk@adrianschmutzler.de>
batman-adv allows to configure three different objects:
* batadv hardif
- network interface used by batadv meshif to transport the batman-adv
packets
- its master interface is set to the batadv meshif
* batadv (meshif/softif)
- virtual interface that emulates a normal 802.3 interface on top
- encapsulates traffic and forwards it via the batadv hardifs
* batadv vlan
- potential VLAN ID on top of batadv meshif
- allows filtering of traffic from specific VIDs
While batadv vlan objects were already represented as an own proto
"batadv_vlan", the batadv meshif could never be fully configured using
/etc/config/network. Instead, parts of its configuration were stored in
/etc/config/batman_adv and some in the interfaces with the "batadv" proto.
To increase the confusion, the "batadv" proto wasn't used to define the
batadv meshif but to identify batadv (slave) hardifs. The batman-adv
meshifs were also never created directly but only when a hardif was
configured. The actual modification of the configuration settings was then
applied using a hotplug script hack. The batadv meshif network interface
could therefore only be created when an hardif was available and not
manipulated with ifup/ifdown. Also `/etc/init.d/network reload` didn't
modify the batadv meshif interface configuration correctly.
The "batadv" is now renamed to "batadv_hardif" and a new "batadv" proto is
used to configure the main (meshif) network interface with all its
configuration.
A simple network configuration with WiFi & ethernet interfaces and static
IP on top of bat0 would look like:
# batadv meshif bat0
config interface 'bat0'
option proto 'batadv'
option routing_algo 'BATMAN_IV'
option aggregated_ogms 1
option ap_isolation 0
option bonding 0
option fragmentation 1
#option gw_bandwidth '10000/2000'
option gw_mode 'off'
#option gw_sel_class 20
option log_level 0
option orig_interval 1000
option bridge_loop_avoidance 1
option distributed_arp_table 1
option multicast_mode 1
option network_coding 0
option hop_penalty 30
option isolation_mark '0x00000000/0x00000000'
# add *single* wifi-iface with network bat0_hardif_wlan as hardif to bat0
config interface 'bat0_hardif_wlan'
option mtu '1536'
option proto 'batadv_hardif'
option master 'bat0'
# option ifname is filled out by the wifi-iface
# add eth0 as hardif to bat0
config interface 'bat0_hardif_eth0'
option proto 'batadv_hardif'
option master 'bat0'
option ifname 'eth0'
option mtu '1536'
# configure IP on bat0
config interface 'bat0_lan'
option ifname 'bat0'

hop_penalty is the last remaining setting which is directly writing to
sysfs instead of using a implementation (sysfs vs. netlink) abstraction
layer. batctl now provides a wrapper function that allows the script to
directly use it to take care of communicating with the driver.

The batctl tool should be used for modifying settings in the batman-adv
driver to keep the scripts consistent and allow to use the correct way of
communicating with the kernel (sysfs vs. netlink).
The gw_mode, gw_bandwidth and gw_sel_class options are all handled by
the same gw_mode command in batctl and thus have to be combined depending
on the "gw_mode" value.
