The GLUON_ATH10K_MESH must be set to 11s or ibss; when it is not set,
ath10k device images won't be built at all. This also allows us to remove
the BROKEN flag for ath10k devices, as the GLUON_ATH10K_MESH variable is
sufficient to avoid ath10k devices if desired.
Fixes#864
The MR1750 and OM5P-AC devices are based on ath9k SoCs and an external
ath10k chip. All devices which are using ath10k should be marked as broken
due to deficits in their IBSS support.

Users may have defined additional mesh interfaces. Properly migrate these
to avoid subtly breaking the network config (and make them ready for new
mesh protocols).
Switch to:
1. WAN
2. LAN
3. Mesh VPN
As WAN and LAN are setup in gluon-mesh-batman-adv-core (and will be moved
to gluon-core), while the mesh VPN has its own package, giving WAN and LAN
the first indices is preferable.
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
need_one_of(varname, array, required) checks weather the value of the specified variable is part of given array.
need_array_of(varname, array, required) is similar to need_one_of() but assume that varname points to an array.
Just like we enabled multicast snooping on the batman-adv client bridge
again, let's do the same for the WAN side.
With one exception: The IGMP/MLD querier is kept disabled to avoid
becoming too "bossy"/"noisy" on a foreign network. The main router on
the WAN side should perform querying and by that enable
IGMP/MLD/snooping if it considers this appropriate there.

A few issues with the bridge snooping were identified and fixed
upstream in OpenWRT:
* "firewall: Allow IGMP and MLD input on WAN" (r45613)
* "kernel: bridge: backport two snooping related patches" (r45783)
* netifd: "bridge: Fix multicast_to_unicast feature by hairpin+isolate"
(OW: "netifd: update to the latest version, adds multicast-to-unicast fixes" (r46719))
* "kernel: bridge, multicast-to-unicast: assign src after pskb_may_pull()" (r46721)
* "kernel: bridge, multicast-to-unicast: fix echoes on STA" (46765)
These have very likely caused issues with the bridge snooping before,
which led to disabling it in the past. Let's reenable the multicast
snooping now that they were fixed for reduced multicast overhead on the
wifi.
Advantages are the following:
This mildly reduces overhead on the mesh layer. And significantly reduces
overhead on the AP interface and therefore significantly increases
available airtime (the currently most significant scalability bottleneck).
Secondly removes an easy, often accidental node-local Denial-of-Service
vector based on multicast flooding / streaming.
Thirdly, makes node-local multicast streaming feasible.
Finally should noticably increase battery life of mobile devices.
Note: bridge querier is disabled for br-wan. We want to avoid becoming
too "bossy"/"noisy" on a foreign network.
