[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH 02/12] batman-adv: Drop documentation about debugfs files

[Simon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de>]

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

The debugfs files were marked as deprecated by commit 00caf6a2b318
("batman-adv: Mark debugfs functionality as deprecated"). The documentation
should not advertise its usage anymore and instead promote the generic
netlink family and a userspace tool to access it.
