Babel: Implement IPv4 via IPv6 extension (RFC 9229)
The patch implements an IPv4 via IPv6 extension (RFC 9229) to the Babel
routing protocol (RFC 8966) that allows annoncing routes to an IPv4
prefix with an IPv6 next hop, which makes it possible for IPv4 traffic
to flow through interfaces that have not been assigned an IPv4 address.
The implementation is compatible with the current Babeld version.
Thanks to Toke Høiland-Jørgensen for early review on this work.
