batman-adv: Create roughly equal sized fragments

The routing algorithm must know how large two fragments are to be able to decide that it is safe to merge them or if it should resubmit without waiting for the second part. When these two fragments have a too different size, it is not possible to guess right in every situation.

The user could easily configure the MTU of the attached cards so that one fragment is forwarded and the other one is added to the fragments table to wait for the missing part.

For even sized packets, it is possible to split it so that the resulting packages are equal sized by ignoring the old non-fragment header at the beginning of the original packet.

This still creates different sized fragments for uneven sized packets.
