[Click] Click defines in ns3

[Sascha Alexander Jopen]

Hey,

with the current implementation on the ns3 side, using
simclick_click_command is only possible after an instance of the click
router has been created (Ipv4ClickRouting::DoStart ()). However, we
already need the defines at this time to instantiate the router.
I'll try to rearrange this and implement defines the way you suggested,
keeping the API stable.
