This file contains the relevant information to let userspace communicate
with batman-adv over generic netlink. The relevant genl enums for the
attributes and commands have the prefix batadv_genl. Renaming this file to
this name therefore represents the content better and avoids confusion 

with

the file which will contain the packet format definitions.

This and the previous patch changes uapi. That might break userspace
applications that rely on it.

I am not aware of any application because all (alfred, batctl and some gluon 
integration) of them currently ship their own copy because distribution didn't 
catch up. And this is also the reason why I want to do it now - not later.

Kind regards,
