[Commotion-dev] Commotion-OpenBTS-Serval live image

I just put a customized Ubuntu live image into the Commotion-OpenBTS git
repo that includes OpenBTS, OLSRd, and Servald. The current image was
built for the RAD1 transceiver board, but I will add another version
later on built for the USRP. The image can be found in the ISO directory
of the liveboot branch of the repo.

All the components start on boot, and it assigns itself a Serval name
and DID based on the MAC address of the computer's first ethernet
interface. So theoretically if it's booted up with a transceiver plugged
in, it should be able to field any OpenBTS and Serval traffic on a
Commotion mesh network.

That said, the RAD1 transceiver software currently doesn't work, so
testing is a bit difficult. If anyone has a USRP or another transceiver
they'd like to test it on, please do!
