Improved parent management: parent neighbor is retained until a better neighbor is found (with 1 ETX less than parent). Don't drop parent neighbors when loop is detected (loops are transient anyway).

Added a parameter to collect_open() that specifies whether or not the node should be a router for packets, or only an originator of packets. Updated the collect module to the new annoucement API.

Significant rework of the Contiki data collection protocol:
...
* the new version makes use of MAC-layer feedback so that bad paths
can be identified quicker and then avoided.
* the new code uses transport layer ACKs that contain feedback from
the collect protocol: when a packet cannot be forwarded due to lack
of resources, the ACK contains a flag that indicates that the packet
could not be forwarded. ACKs also contain the routing metric of the
sender, which improves agility in face of rapid path changes.
* loop detection and management has been improved: with higher path
metric agility, the system is more prone to short-lived routing
loops. Instead of dropping looping packets, the new version adjusts
the routing metric for the routes that exhibit loops so that the
risk for future loops is reduced.
* make use of packet attributes to inform the MAC layer of how many
times packets should be retransmitted.

Better loop handling: when a loop is detected, the neighbor to which the packet was originally sent gets an inflated ETX; made sure that collect without announcments work; increased timeouts, to work nicer in larger networks

Rewrite of the collect module. The new version uses a packet queue for outgoing and forwarded packets so that more than one packet can be forwarded at the same time. The new version uses the packetqueue module to maintain the packet queue.

Renamed the rimebuf module to packetbuf to signal that the module is used outside of a pure Rime context (e.g., the sicslowpan code uses it).

Rewrote the collect module so that it uses the announcement module rather than the neighbor-discovery module. This makes it possible to implement other annoumcement back-ends than the traditional broadcast-based neighbor discovery
