This commit moves the Settings Manager from the AVR codebase
into the Contiki core library. Any platform that implements
the Contiki EEPROM API can now use the Settings Manager's
key-value store for storing their persistent configuration info.
The Settings Manager is a EEPROM-based key-value store. Keys
are 16-bit integers and values may be up to 16,383 bytes long.
It is intended to be used to store configuration-related information,
like network settings, radio channels, etc.
* Robust data format which requires no initialization.
* Supports multiple values with the same key.
* Data can be appended without erasing EEPROM.
* Max size of settings data can be easily increased in the future,
as long as it doesn't overlap with application data.
The format was inspired by the [OLPC manufacturing data format][].
Since the beginning of EEPROM often contains application-specific
information, the best place to store settings is at the end of EEPROM
(the "top"). Because we are starting at the end of EEPROM, it makes
sense to grow the list of key-value pairs downward, toward the start of
EEPROM.
Each key-value pair is stored in memory in the following format:
Order | Size | Name | Description
--------:|---------:|--------------|-------------------------------
0 | 2 | `key` | 16-bit key
-2 | 1 | `size_check` | One's-complement of next byte
-3 | 1 or 2 | `size` | The size of `value`, in bytes
-4 or -5 | variable | `value` | Value associated with `key`
The end of the key-value pairs is denoted by the first invalid entry.
An invalid entry has any of the following attributes:
* The `size_check` byte doesn't match the one's compliment of the
`size` byte (or `size_low` byte).
* The key has a value of 0x0000.

- Structural modification of RPL data storage.
- Support multiple gateways (multiple DODAG-ID with a unique InstanceID)
- Use Lollipop counters
- Add leaf-only configuration option for RPL
Bugfix :
- Correctly send "Grounded" flag in DIO
Use CHANNEL_802_15_4 define for RF channel on all AVR platforms, default 26.
Remove hopefully unnecessary interrupt disable wrapper on eeprom reads and writes.
functions for converting between host and network byte order. These
names are the de facto standard names for this functionality because
of the original BSD TCP/IP implementation. But they cause problems for
uIP/Contiki: some platforms define these names themselves (Mac OS,
most notably), causing compilation problems for Contiki on those
platforms.
This commit changes all htons to uip_htons instead. Same goes for
htonl, ntohs, and ntohl. All-caps versions as well.
