This adds documentation for the gluon-mesh-batman-adv package and
elaborates on its build and configuration options, as well as
the implemented multicast architecture.

This new build flag is mandatory for now (it may default to 0 in a future
Gluon version). It may be set to the following values:
* 0 - Do not build any images for deprecated devices.
* upgrade - Only build sysupgrade images for deprecated devices.
* full - Build both sysupgrade and factory images for deprecated devices.
"Other" images are handled like factory images, as they are also used for
the initial installation of Gluon on a device.
Add the `wifi5.outdoor_chanlist` site configuration that
allows specifying an outdoor channel range that can be
switched to for regulatory compliance.
Upon enabling the outdoor option the device will
- configure the `outdoor_chanlist` on all 5 GHz radios
- which may enable DFS/TPC, based on the regulatory domain
- disable ibss/mesh on the 5 GHz radio, as DFS *will*
break mesh connections
- allow for htmode reconfiguration on 5 GHz radios
The outdoor option can be toggled from
- Advanced Settings
- W-LAN
- Outdoor Installation
The `preserve_channel` flag overrules the outdoor channel
selection.
Before 7827f89, mandatory hostname field in config mode was
pre-filled with the default hostname.
This commit adds the config_mode.hostname.prefill option for
controlling the default value.
gluon-config-mode-geo-location-osm extends the
gluon-config-mode-geo-location with a location picker based on
OpenStreetMaps.

As already done with other config mode texts, the altitude field now has
default texts that are used when they are not set in the site i18n files.
The altitude-help text has been removed from site i18n; instead, the
geo-location-help text now overrides the whole section description
including the part that mentions the altitude.
* do not allow to obligatorily require contact information
* add remark that the data is provided voluntarily
* mention how to delete the data
* be very clear about the fact that the data being entered is public and
can be downloaded and processed by anyone.
In multidomain setups, VXLAN is enabled by default, but can be disabled in
domain configs using the mesh/vxlan option. In single domain setups, the
mesh/vxlan option is mandatory.
The UCI option for legacy mode is removed.
Fixes#1364
This setting allows to enforce manually setting a hostname.
In the initial configuration, the hostname field is now left empty; when
setting the hostname is not enforced, the default hostname is shown as the
field placeholder.
Fixes#1139
We must ensure that each node becomes IGMP/MLD querier for its local
clients; having only a single querier for the whole mesh is generally
unreliable, leading to frequent "IGMP/MLD querier appeared/disappeared"
messages from batman-adv and unreliable snooping.
In smaller meshes it might be interesting only segment querier domains, but
allow membership reports to pass through the mesh, in order to support
snooping switches outside the mesh without special configuration. A
site.conf switch is provided to control this behaviour.
Fixes#1320
This is currently only implemented in the gluon-mesh-vpn-fastd
package.
Advertising the public key may be deemed problematic when
your threat-model involves protecting the nodes privacy
from tunnel traffic correlation by onlink observers.
It can be enabled by setting site.mesh_vpn.fastd.pubkey_privacy
to `false`.
To reduce the number of packages that need to be listed in
GLUON_SITE_PACKAGES, this adds a new variable GLUON_FEATURES. Sets of
packages are enabled automatically based on the combination of listed
feature flags.
Site-specified package feeds can provide their own feature flag
definitions.
