[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCHv2] batman-adv: Use safer default config for optional features

[Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>]

The current default settings for optional features in batman-adv seems to be
based around the idea that the user only compiles what he requires. They will
automatically enabled when they are compiled in. For example the network coding
part of batman-adv is by default disabled in the out-of-tree module but will be
enabled when the code is compiled during the module build.

But distributions like Debian just enable all features of the batman-adv kernel
module and hope that more experimental features or features with possible
negative effects have to be enabled using some runtime configuration interface.

The network_coding feature can help in specific setups but also has drawbacks
and is not disabled by default in the out-of-tree module. Disabling by default
in the runtime config seems to be also quite sane.

The bridge_loop_avoidance is the only feature which is disabled by default but
may be necessary even in simple setups. Packet loops may even be created
during the initial node setup when this is not enabled. This is different than
STP on bridges because mesh is usually used on Adhoc WiFi. Having two nodes
(by accident) in the same LAN segment and in the same mesh network is rather
common in this situation.

DAT is now removed from this patch because the discussion showed that it is
preferred to have DAT enabled by default.
