Generate flashable images for the Archer C7 v2 with current stock firmware
again.
To set the region code, the GLUON_REGION variable must be set to "us" or
"eu" in site.mk or as a make argument.
Fixes#860
Switching branches and applying patches in the build repos will
unnecessarily touch many files, causing rebuilds of packages that didn't
really change; furthermore, it is filling the reflog with many entries.
Don't ever switch to base branch in the build repos and apply patches in
a temporary clone to avoid these issues.
In addition, GPG signing is generally disabled in the build repos to
override potential global configuration (as signing doesn't make sense and
will slow down rebases).
This option will make the generated commit IDs deterministic, greatly
reducing the number of repository objects created when calling `make
update` repeatedly.
The OpenMesh devices have a sticker with the eth0 mac address on the
bottom. Also all other mac addresses are calculated based on this address.
Therefore, it is better to use this as primary mac address instead of the
WiFi mac address.

The returned name for OpenMesh devices with a an extra vX when calling
lua -e 'print(require("platform_info").get_image_name())'
doesn't contain a dash between the vX and the device name. Thus the image
should also not contain a dash.

The image validation currently fails on some devices (tested OpenMesh)
because it isn't done via sysupgrade. But the checks depend partially on
the integration in sysupgrade (e.g. via loops that can be stopped via
"break statements").
Instead of hacking its own version check, it is easier and better tested to
just use 'sysupgrade -T' like it is already done by LuCI.

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.
