Alexander Aring	92aa7c65d2	6lowpan: add generic nhc layer interface ... This patch adds a generic next header compression layer interface. There exists various methods to do a header compression after 6LoWPAN header to save payload. This introduce a generic nhc header which allow a simple adding of a new header compression format instead of a static implementation inside the 6LoWPAN header compression and uncompression function.

Alexander Aring	2c6bed7cfc	6lowpan: introduce new net/6lowpan directory ... This patch moves generic code which is used by bluetooth and ieee802154 6lowpan to a new net/6lowpan directory. This directory contains generic 6LoWPAN code which is shared between bluetooth and ieee802154 MAC-Layer. This is the IPHC - "IPv6 Header Compression" format at the moment. Which is described by RFC 6282 [0]. The BLTE 6LoWPAN draft describes that the IPHC is the same format like IEEE 802.15.4, see [1]. Futuremore we can put more code into this directory which is shared between BLTE and IEEE 802.15.4 6LoWPAN like RFC 6775 or the routing protocol RPL RFC 6550. To avoid naming conflicts I renamed 6lowpan-y to ieee802154_6lowpan-y in net/ieee802154/Makefile.
