batman-adv: Move is_out_of_time() to main.h for general use

Both translation tables and network coding use timeouts to do house
keeping, so we might as well share the function used to compare a
timestamp+timeout with current time.

For readability and simplicity, the function is renamed to
has_timed_out() and uses time_is_before_jiffies() instead of
time_after().
