As discussed in #2725, this commit renames a number of stacksize constants to
better convey their intended usage. In addition, constants for thread priority
are given a `THREAD_` prefix. Changes are:
* KERNEL_CONF_STACKSIZE_PRINTF renamed to THREAD_EXTRA_STACKSIZE_PRINTF
* KERNEL_CONF_STACKSIZE_DEFAULT renamed to THREAD_STACKSIZE_DEFAULT
* KERNEL_CONF_STACKSIZE_IDLE renamed to THREAD_STACKSIZE_IDLE
* KERNEL_CONF_STACKSIZE_MAIN renamed to THREAD_STACKSIZE_MAIN
* Move thread stacksizes from kernel.h to thread.h, since the prefix changed
* PRIORITY_MIN renamed to THREAD_PRIORITY_MIN
* PRIORITY_IDLE renamed to THREAD_PRIORITY_IDLE
* PRIORITY_MAIN renamed to THREAD_PRIORITY_MAIN
* Move thread priorities from kernel.h to thread.h since the prefix has changed
* MINIMUM_STACK_SIZE renamed to THREAD_STACKSIZE_MINIMUM for consistency
This implementation is based on RFC 6550 with addition of RFC 6554 (Source Routing Header for RPL). Both can be found under the following links:
- http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6550
- http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6554
The PR provides basic functionality for handling and forwarding packages in non-storing mode. In addition the structure of the previous implemented RPL storing mode is now revised, so that readability and modularity is increased. The following features are implemented:
- building function for a SRH and integration in common packets
- source-route build algorithm based on the structure of the DODAG
- an RPL-based interpretation of the SRH and removal at destination
- new structure for RPl-module with extracted beaconing-functionality
- leaf nodes are now supported
There are some missed goals and should be included in future updates:
- building a common routing table structure for different types of routing protocols
- routing tables are statically assigned via source code, future update should have an optional variable at build-time, which sets the size of the routing table depending on the desired functionality of a node in the network (root, node, leaf)
udp_recvfrom wrote the sender port number in host byte order into the
provided sockaddr6_t. Because all send functions expect the port number
in network byte order this introduces a superfluous conversion step in
case one wants to reuse the address for replying.

Currently, the tcp and udp implementations are bound to each other in a
module called *destiny*. Thus, when using only one of them then the
other one gets also compiled into the binary and initialized,
which results in unnecessary RAM usage and workload for the CPU.
The approach in this PR defines a common module named *socket_base*,
which contains functions used by the posix layer. Compiled by it's own,
those functions return negative error codes, to symbolize upper layers
that they are not supported. When also including the modules *udp* or
*tcp* respectively, functions from *socket_base* get overwritten with the
correct functionality.
Defining *udp* or *tcp* in a Makefile also includes *socket_base*.
Defining *pnet* in a Makefile also includes *socket_base*.
Instead of using differing integer types use kernel_pid_t for process
identifier. This type is introduced in a new header file to avoid
circular dependencies.
