The standard layer 3 ping utility can use the record route (RR) option
of IP to collect route data for sent ping messages (ping -R). This
patch introduces comparable functionality for batman-adv ICMP messages.

The patch adds a second batman ICMP packet format (icmp_packet_rr) such
that up to 17 MAC addresses can be recorded (sufficient for up to 8
hops per direction). When no RR is wanted, the old icmp_packet without
the RR overhead can be sent.
