Make batadv_bla_check_duplist() just use the new function skb_crc32c(),
instead of calling skb_seq_read() with crc32c(). This is faster and
simpler.

The Network Coding feature, introduced in 2013, is based on the master
thesis "Inter-Flow Network Coding for Wireless Mesh Networks". It relies on
the assumption that neighboring mesh nodes can reliably overhear each
other's transmissions in promiscuous mode, allowing packets to be combined
to reduce forwarding overhead.

This assumption no longer holds for modern wireless mesh networks, which
are heterogeneous and make overhearing increasingly unreliable. Factors
such as multiple spatial streams, varying data rates, beamforming, and
OFDMA all prevent nodes from consistently overhearing each other. The current
implementation in batman-adv is not able to detect these conditions and would
require a more complex layer beyond its neighbor discovery process to do so.

In addition, the feature has been unmaintained for years and is discouraged
for use. None of the current maintainers have the required test
setup to verify its functionality, and known issues remain in its data
structures (reference counting, RCU usage, and cleanup handling). Its
continued presence also blocks necessary refactoring of the core originator
infrastructure.

Remove this obsolete and unmaintained feature.

Now that LIBCRC32C does nothing besides select CRC32, make every option
that selects LIBCRC32C instead select CRC32 directly.  Then remove
LIBCRC32C.

The batman-adv source code was using the year of publication (to net-next)
as "last" year for the copyright statement. The whole source code mentioned
in the MAINTAINERS "BATMAN ADVANCED" section was handled as a single entity
regarding the publishing year.

This avoided having outdated (in sense of year information - not copyright
holder) publishing information inside several files. But since the simple
"update copyright year" commit (without other changes) in the file was not
well received in the upstream kernel, the option to not have a copyright
year (for initial and last publication) in the files are chosen instead.
More detailed information about the years can still be retrieved from the
SCM system.

These Kconfig files are included from net/Kconfig, inside the
if NET ... endif.

Remove 'depends on NET', which we know it is already met.

The sysfs support in batman-adv is deprecated since a while and will be
removed completely next year.

All tools which were known to the batman-adv development team are
supporting the batman-adv netlink interface since a while. Thus
disabling CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_SYSFS by default should not cause problems on
most systems. It is still possible to enable it in case it is still
required in a specific setup.
