Move ebtables rules dealing with bat0 to gluon-next-node-batman-adv.
This new package should be used in batman-adv based setups instead
of gluon-next-node.
There are a few devices which have more than one LAN interface (for example
some revision of the TL-WR941ND, which uses a DSA-based switch, so each
switch port has its own netdev.) On these devices we need a bridge for
mesh-on-lan (as the alternative of adding them to batman-adv individually
would need too many MAC addresses.)
While ath9k/ath10k devices can supprt VIFs with any combination of MAC addresses, there are also adapters which have a hardware MAC filter which only allows a few bits to differ. This commit changes the addresses of all VIFs to ony differ in the last 3 bits, which is required to support many Ralink/Mediatek based WLAN adapters.
Technically, the new addresses are generated by calculating an MD5 hash of the primary MAC address and using a part of this hash as a prefix for the MAC addresses.
The addresses (BSSIDs) of the AP VIFs are also reused for the LAN and WAN interfaces in mesh-on-LAN/WAN mode to reduce the number of needed addresses, and thus reduce the chance of collisions. This is not a problem as the MAC addresses of the AP VIFs are never used except as BSSID, and thus not seen by routing protocols like batman-adv.

Device information can be found at:
http://www.8devices.com/products/carambola-2https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/8devices/carambola2
I only did some minimal testing of gluon on the carambola 2 development
board:
- Config mode works
- Connects to Wifi Mesh
- Allows clients to connect
Notably, autoupgrade has not yet been tested.
Change to 010-primary-mac is necessary as the mac address printed
on the sticker is the one of eth0, not the wifi mac.
