The batadv debugfs requires large memory blocks to write the text debug
tables. This is inefficient for large tables like the global translation
table or the originators table.
The memory requirement can be reduced by using netlink. It copies smaller
packets in a binary format to the userspace program. The respondd module of
gluon-mesh-batman-adv-core can therefore parse larger originator tables
without causing an OOM on systems which are tight on memory.

MAC and IP addresses are switched. This makes the gluon-client-bridge
package more useful for different routing protocols that don't need a
unique address on the client bridge.
As a side effect, gluon-radvd is now using the next-node address, which had
been considered before, but was dismissed to avoid having gluon-radvd
depend on gluon-next-node and gluon-mesh-batman-adv. This will be useful
for announcing default routes via gluon-radvd.
One downside is that this introduces a minor dependency on batman-adv in
gluon-respondd: the hotplug script that checked for the client interface
before will now check for local-node. This doesn't really matter: for mesh
protocols without a local-node interface, the check will do nothing (which
makes sense, as there is no interface to bind to for mesh-wide respondd).
Because we unconditionally appended `-i br-client` to the command line of
respondd, it wasn't restarted when br-client changed state. Now, we use a
jsonfilter expression on the network.interface dump data, similar to how the
other interface names are generated, and only add the interface to the argument
list if it is up.
If cookies are disabled, the Statuspage only displays an empty ("Not connected")
This checks if the localStorage API is available and working and only uses it in this case
Also allows better backwards compatibility.
Users may have defined additional mesh interfaces. Properly migrate these
to avoid subtly breaking the network config (and make them ready for new
mesh protocols).
Switch to:
1. WAN
2. LAN
3. Mesh VPN
As WAN and LAN are setup in gluon-mesh-batman-adv-core (and will be moved
to gluon-core), while the mesh VPN has its own package, giving WAN and LAN
the first indices is preferable.
