The new gluon.site lua library will eventually replace gluon.site_config
(which is hereby deprecated, but will continue to be supported for a
while).
The new gluon.site library will wrap all values to allow traversing
non-existing tables without errors.
site = require 'gluon.site'
c = site.a.b.c -- doesn't fail even if a or a.b don't exist
The wrapped values must be unwrapped using call syntax:
site_name = site.site_name()
Using the call syntax on a non-existing value will return nil. An
alternative default value may be passed instead:
mac = site.next_node.mac('16:41:95:40:f7:dc')
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).
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.

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.
The new MR1750v2 device support is only available in LEDE master. The
relevant patches have to backported to add support for them in Gluon

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.

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.

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.
Adopt the according modifications to the default firewall settings of
the WAN interface from OpenWRT, revision 45613.

This new feature introduces the new uci section 'gluon-core.wireless' with a preserve_channels option:
* preserve_channels (boolean)
By setting this option to 1 (true) wifi channels will be preserved during upgrades.
gluon-radio-config contained only a single file. The code has been adjusted
to allow creating a Gluon configuration without WLAN support by removing
the wifi24 and wifi5 sections from site.conf.
Split basic radio configuration from gluon-mesh-batman-adv as this will
be required for virtually any wireless mesh protocol.
This package takes care of setting:
- wireless channel,
- htmode and
- regulatory domain
gluon-mesh-batman-adv-core depends on this package.
In Bremen it has been noted that a prefix may lead people to believe it
has to stay there and thus naming their nodes "ffhb-*", which is not
what the community wants (see FreifunkBremen/gluon-site-ffhb#1).
However, an empty prefix lead to the connecting hyphen still being
inserted. This commit thus makes the hyphen part of the configured
prefix and allows the prefix to be missing from the `site.conf`.
