[Nodeshot] netdiff project

[Nemesis]

Instead of mixing the code of nodeshot, django and routing protocols
related details we decided to write a separate module:

https://github.com/ninuxorg/netdiff

This module will focus on reading topologies for various routing
protocols and then make a "diff".

Nodeshot will read the diff and update the topology, this way we keep
the logic separated.

Initially we will implement the protocols weare using in ninux.org:
OLSR1 and batman-adv.

If you are using nodeshot for your community but are using another
routing protocol but would still like the new nodeshot to be aware of
your topology (showing it on a map, know information about links, if
links go down, ecc), it should be fairly easy to add a new routing
protocol in netdiff.

Also, being a pure python module (not bound to django), it might be used
also by other python applications using different frameworks (flask,
webpy, ecc).
