adamdunkels be846d8c90 A new experimental network primitive called an 'announcement'. An
announcement is an (ID, value) tuple that is disseminated to local
area neighbors. An application or protocol can explicitly listen to
announcements from neighbors. When an announcement is heard, a
callback is invoked.

Announcements can be used for a variety of network mechanisms such as
neighbor discovery, node-level service discovery, or routing metric
dissemination.

Application programs and protocols register announcements with the
announcement module. An announcement back-end, implemented by the
system, takes care of sending out announcements over the radio, as
well as collecting announcements heard from neighbors.
