Use MAC addresses provided by WLAN drivers by default
Some drivers (mt76) don't support arbitrary MAC addresses. Use the
addresses provided by the driver (avoiding the primary address) by default,
but fall back to our has-based scheme when the driver doesn't provide
(enough) addresses.

Fix creation of IBSS interfaces on devices with two radios
Lua's tables are 1-based, so we must decrement the index by 1 to get the
desired MAC addresses. By not doing this, the second IBSS interface would
get the address with index 8, but only indices 0..7 are available.

c73a12e0ea Change MAC schema generation (#715)
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.

Fixes #648
