batman-adv: tt: only transmit local ROAM flag together with DEL

Browse Source 
BATADV_TT_CLIENT_ROAM is part of BATADV_TT_REMOTE_MASK but on the wire it
only has a defined meaning together with BATADV_TT_CLIENT_DEL: the
originator no longer serves the client because it roamed to another node.
Such a DEL is only relevant for events (non-full table requests).

An ADD carrying ROAM is processed (by accident) by the receiver like a
ROAMING_ADV: a newly created global entry is marked as roaming and is
excluded from the global CRC. But the sender includes it in its local CRC.

But such a behavior doesn't make sense for non-ROAM_ADV because a new TTVN
is meant as announced commit of the local TT table of a node and should
therefore not be used to create a temporary (roam) global entry in a node.

At the moment, such an ADD with the BATADV_TT_CLIENT_ROAM flag set can
happen due to two mechanisms:

batadv_tt_local_valid() copies all flags of the local entry into a full
table response. It is not synchronized with batadv_tt_local_mark_removed().
An entry which was marked as ROAM|PENDING by a ROAMING_ADV is still part of
the current TTVN and is sent with the ROAM flag set. The receivers then
create a roaming global entry for it and detect a CRC mismatch, which
causes them to request the full table again.

The same can happen for an ADD change which is queued for an entry which
(still) has the ROAM flag set. For example when only the dynamic WIFI or
ISOLA flags were updated.

It is not triggered by batadv_send_other_tt_response() because
batadv_tt_global_valid() is already taking care of filtering out
BATADV_TT_CLIENT_ROAM entries.

For the two problematic announcement mechanism, only send the ROAM flag of
local entries together with a DEL.

This only fixes the ROAM marking of the global entry and the resulting CRC
mismatch. When the requester of the full table is the node which sent the
ROAMING_ADV, the still announced entry will (independent of the ROAM flag)
cause batadv_tt_global_purge_local() to remove the requester's own (new)
local entry for the client. This is not addressed here.
