Let ContikiMAC remember the state that the radio should have when duty cycling is turned off. This fixes a bug in which the radio was turned on after sending, even when NETSTACK_RDC.off(0) was enabled.

Improved phase lock behaviour when neighbor is not duty cycling: senders notify receivers via the 802.15.4 pending bit that they are not duty cycling. Neighbors then will start sending packets immediately and not wait for neighbors' phase. Tweaking of ContikiMAC timers to make it more reliable.

Bugfixes in low-power streaming mode, and re-added support for announcements. These now use the low-power streaming mode so that active listening for announcments have a radio duty cycle of 16% rather than 100%

Two major changes:
...
* Low-power streaming. Experimental support for a low-power mode which
allows rapid exchange of packets with a 16% duty cycle. Does not
seem to function correctly yet though.
* Phase locking. When the phase of a neighbor has been detected, the
sender assumes that the neighbor will keeps it phase and does not
send more strobes than necessary to hit the receiver's channel
check - even if the receiver does not acknowledge the reception of
the strobes when it should have been awake. Instead, the sender
stops strobing and tries again at a later time.

Rework of parts of the ContikiMAC code based on input from experimental results. When channel check is triggered because of a false positive, the new version checks the radio several times to make sure that there really is an incoming packet. Otherwise, the radio is switched off. Cleaned up and removed old unused code. Added a few temporary debugging mechanisms and functions.

A work-in-progress rework of the Contiki MAC and radio layers. The
...
main ideas are:
* Separates the Contiki low-layer network stack into four layers:
network (e.g. sicslowpan / rime), Medium Access Control MAC
(e.g. CSMA), Radio Duty Cycling RDC (e.g. ContikiMAC, X-MAC), and
radio (e.g. cc2420).
* Introduces a new way to configure the network stack. Four #defines
that specify what mechanism/protocol/driver to use at the four
layers: NETSTACK_CONF_NETWORK, NETSTACK_CONF_MAC, NETSTACK_CONF_RDC,
NETSTACK_CONF_RADIO.
* Adds a callback mechanism to inform the MAC and network layers about
the fate of a transmitted packet: if the packet was not possible to
transmit, the cause of the failure is reported, and if the packets
was successfully transmitted, the number of tries before it was
finally transmitted is reported.
* NULL-protocols at both the MAC and RDC layers: nullmac and nullrdc,
which can be used when MAC and RDC functionality is not needed.
* Extends the radio API with three new functions that enable more
efficient radio duty cycling protocols: channel check, pending
packet, and receiving packet.
* New initialization mechanism, which takes advantage of the NETSTACK
#defines.

ntikiMAC: a new radio duty cycling mechanism that uses a combination
...
of link-layer and MAC-layer mechanisms to achieve a very low power
consumption: during idle listening the radio is switched off between
99.2% and 99.6% of the time. One unicast transmission typically adds
between 0.07% and 1.2% additional radio time, depending on packet
size.
ContikiMAC uses the standard IEEE 802.15.4 message format and adds no
additional headers.
ContikiMAC is simple: it uses periodic two-shot channel sampling
during idle listening to keep the radio on-time down. Transmissions
are done with repeated transmissions until a link-layer ACK is
received.
