Subject: [PATCH v3] mac80211: fix the RANN propagation issues

This patch is intended to solve the follwing issues in RANN propagation:
[1] The interval in propagated RANN should be based on the interval of received RANN.
[2] The aggregated path metric for propagated RANN is as received plus own link metric
towards the transmitting mesh STA (not root mesh STA).
[3] The comparison of path metric for RANN with same sequence number should be done
before deciding whether to propagate or not.

v2:
revert back to plain conditionals (Javier and Thomas)

v3:
SN comparison in modulo 2^32 (Javier and Marek)
