allows callers to add a name suffix for each connection, so there are separate unix sockets.

this allows this to be called on all networks for mixed experiments.

So far NIC sims would directly modify the NetSim's list, not giving the
opportunity for subclasses to override. This istead adds a method for this.

Useful for running ns-3 only simulations.

Add a new method init_network to NS3E2ENet that does some initialization
before the experiment is run. It should be called after all components
were added to the network.

This introduces the E2ELinkAssigner that can automatically create links
of given types and create all the necessary NS3E2ENet instances.

This adds a new component E2ESimbricksNetwork to the end-to-end
framework, which allows to connect to other simulated networks through
Simbricks.

This avoids issues for parameter strings containing characters that are
treated specially while parsing the arguments, e.g. whitespace.

Instead of passing all parameters using the command line, we write them
first into a file and then pass the filename to the end-to-end
framework.

Use the new basic building blocks SwitchNode and SimpleChannel in the
ns3 end-to-end framework to build topologies.

This adds support for configuring and running simulations using the ns3
end-to-end framework.
