  batman-adv: add bridge loop avoidance compile option (2012-04-11 14:29:00 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Included changes:
* add my name to the maintainers list of batman-adv
* some clean up fixes
* increases the default hop-penalty in order to encourage the routing protocol
  to choose shorter routes
* renew the bridge loop avoidance mechanism

The latter mechanism was already present in batman-adv but recently the concept
has been discussed again and here comes the new implementation. Moreover we
added a compile option in order to let expert people, which think that this
mechanism is not helpful at all, disable it and save some space.
