[Babel-users] Disable wired optimisations

I've just added a new flag, -w, to Babel, which can be used to disable
the optimisations for wired networks.  If Babel is invoked with -w, it
will use the wireless algorithm on all interfaces, which means that:

  - the hello interval will not be increased;
  - link quality information will be performed normally;
  - split-horizon will be disabled.

This flag is recommended if you're running Babel on bridge interfaces
with an underlying wireless interface.  In any case, it won't do any
harm, except slightly increasing the amount of traffic on wired
interfaces.

This is completely untested, so feedback would be appreciated.
