[B.A.T.M.A.N.] wireshark-batman-adv: Displaying issue with vis-packets

The second originator field of a vis client update packet looks a
bit odd in wireshark. Sven :)? (have a look at the attached
cap-file for an example)

I was also wondering about renaming this field maybe, in the
beginning I got quite confused by seeing two identical originator
fields in most vis packets. Maybe it should be renamed to previous
sender or forwarding originator instead?

Cheers, Linus
