[RFC 01/12] 6lowpan: add private neighbour data

[Alexander Aring <aar-bIcnvbaLZ9MEGnE8C9+IrQ@public.gmane.org>]

This patch will introduce a 6lowpan neighbour private data. Like the
interface private data we handle private data for generic 6lowpan and
for link-layer specific 6lowpan.

The current first use case if to save the short address for a 802.15.4
6lowpan neighbour.
