  From: Simon Wunderlich <simon@open-mesh.com>

With the new interface alternating, the first hop may send packets
in a round robin fashion to it's neighbors because it has multiple
valid routes built by the multi interface optimization. This patch
enables the feature if bonding is selected. Note that unlike the
bonding implemented before, this version is much simpler and may
even enable multi path routing to a certain degree.

Changes to PATCH:
 * use new references for orig_ifinfo in the bonding code
 * fix/beautify comments

Changes to RFCv2:
 * style changes (allo variables on one line
 * use new bat_neigh_is_equiv_or_better parameters
 * simplify last candidate lookup (Antonios suggestion)
 * remove last_bonding_candidate pointer when purging
