This patch adds support for 48 bit 6LoWPAN address length autoconfiguration which is the case for BTLE 6LoWPAN.

this if branch should be removed. The idea is here now to not check on "link layer type". Now we check on address length type and do some usually stuff which all others link-layers does which such address length. This works now for btle and 802.15.4 but maybe there will exists another 8 byte or 6 byte address length link-layer where we cannot use the same stuff here. If that will be the case we can still figure out the link-layer type and do different handling. btw: this should also be switched then in iphc code, where we evaluate the link-layer type to do uncompress. We can switch to evaluate addr_len there as well. OR we introduce some callbacks which must be set from link-layer 6lowpan implementation for compress or decompress L3 addresses (which based on L2 address bits). I need to think about here what will be the best fit. This callback can be used here also then.
