Add ability to specify router-id explicitly on the command-line.

There is no equivalent config-file option, since I'm worried about config
files being copied between nodes.

babeld-1.6.2 (unreleased)
* Added the ability to specify a router-id explicitly (-R).
* Changed router-id computation to use all interfaces, which increases
the chances of a stable id.
* Changed the format of babel-state to only contain the seqno -- the

Specify the router-id explicitly, as a modified EUI-64 or a MAC-48
address. If two nodes have the same router-id, bad things will happen.
Don't use this option unless you know what you are doing.
