batman-adv: Make hop_penalty configurable via sysfs
When having a mixed topology of both very mobile and rather static nodes, you are usually best advised to set the originator interval on all nodes to a level best suited for the most mobile node.
However, if most of the nodes are rather static, this can create a lot of undesired overhead as a trade-off then. If setting the interval too low on the static nodes, a mobile node might be chosen as a router for too long, not switching away from it fast enough because of its mobility and the low frequency of ogms of static nodes.
Exposing the hop_penalty is especially useful for the stated scenario: A static node can keep the default originator interval, a mobile node can select a quicker one resulting in faster route updates towards this mobile node. Additionally, such a mobile node could select a higher hop penalty (or even set it to 255 to disable acting as a router for other nodes) to make it less desirable, letting other nodes avoid selecting this mobile node as a router.
