Rationale 1: The common part made only sense for (some) NXP ARM7 MCUs,
but was misleading for MCUs like the LPC1768.
Rationale 2: The common part was only used by one specific MCU
implementation - no need to outsource it.
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)
The transceiver module expects an `ieee802154_packet_t` instead of a
`radio_packet_t` if the device supports the IEEE 802.15.4 packet format.
This commit fixes the corresponding transceiver shell command for
`txtsnd` to set destination address (short address mode), payload, and
length accordingly.

For many modules the `Makefile` contains a line like
```
MODULE:=$(shell basename $(CURDIR))
```
This conclusively shows that we do not have to set the module name
manually.
This PR removes the need to set the module name manually, if it is the
same as the basename. E.g. for `…/sys/vtimer/Makefile` the variable
make `MODULE` will still be `vtimer`, because it is the basename of the
Makefile.
