batman-adv: remove vis functionality

This is replaced by a userspace program, we don't need this
functionality to bloat the kernel.

-VISUALIZATION
--------------
-
-If you want topology visualization, at least one mesh  node  must
-be configured as VIS-server:
-
-# echo "server" > /sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/vis_mode
-
-Each  node  is  either configured as "server" or as "client" (de-
-fault: "client").  Clients send their topology data to the server
-next to them, and server synchronize with other servers. If there
-is no server configured (default) within the  mesh,  no  topology
-information   will  be  transmitted.  With  these  "synchronizing
-servers", there can be 1 or more vis servers sharing the same (or
-at least very similar) data.
-
-When  configured  as  server,  you can get a topology snapshot of
-your mesh:
-
-# cat /sys/kernel/debug/batman_adv/bat0/vis_data
-
-This raw output is intended to be easily parsable and convertable
-with  other tools. Have a look at the batctl README if you want a
-vis output in dot or json format for instance and how those  out-
-puts could then be visualised in an image.
-
-The raw format consists of comma separated values per entry where
-each entry is giving information about a  certain  source  inter-
-face.  Each  entry can/has to have the following values:
--> "mac" - mac address of an originator's source interface
-           (each line begins with it)
--> "TQ mac  value"  -  src mac's link quality towards mac address
-                       of a neighbor originator's interface which
-                       is being used for routing
--> "TT mac" - TT announced by source mac
--> "PRIMARY" - this  is a primary interface
--> "SEC mac" - secondary mac address of source
-               (requires preceding PRIMARY)
-
-The TQ value has a range from 4 to 255 with 255 being  the  best.
-The TT entries are showing which hosts are connected to the mesh
-via bat0 or being bridged into the mesh network.  The PRIMARY/SEC
-values are only applied on primary interfaces
