Revised version of the X-MAC implementation that uses a ctimer instead
...
of an rtimer for the periodic radio duty cycling. The benefit of this
implementation is that it leaves an rtimer free for user tasks. The
drawback is a slightly higher idle power consumption. This new version
is based on the current rtimer-based X-MAC.

Added a simple CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access) mechanism that
...
works on top of an underlying duty cycling mechanism. The CSMA layer
retransmits packets that could not be sent because of a collision was
detected.

Added a field to the struct mac interface:
...
channel_check_interval(). This function returns the interval by which
the duty cycling mechanism checks the radio channel for activity. It
is used by higher layer mechanisms to determine suitable timeouts for
retransmissions.

Significant improvements to the Contiki X-MAC:
...
* the code is simplified, particularly the duty cycling logic
* old unused code has been removed
* Contiki X-MAC now listens before sending a strobe to avoid MAC-level
collisions
* broadcasts are sent directly, without strobes, reducing the power
consumption of receivers
* turn off radio for 1 ms between sending a strobe and expecting the
strobe ack

A simple addition with significant performance implications:
...
sicslowpan tags TCP packets with the PACKETBUF_ATTR_PACKET_TYPE_STREAM
flag, which makes the underlying power-saving MAC layer keep the radio
on for some time after transmitting the packet. This allows reply
packets to be processed directly, significantly increasing TCP latency
and throughput.

A new optimization to X-MAC: senders now keep track of when neighbors
...
last were known to be awake. When sending a packet, a sender does not
start to send strobes until the neighbor is expected to be awake. This
reduces power consumption for senders and decreases the contention in
the network as there are less packets in the air. Additionally, the
ACK optimization was improved so that data/ack exchanges now are
more efficient.
