Several fixes and enhancements related to multicast were added upstream
in batman-adv. So let's give the batman-adv multicast optimizations
another go.

The is_outdoor function is placed inside the gluon.platform module, not
the platform_info module. Currently, the outdoor-mode wizard component
and the upgrade script fail due to nil-value calls.
adds a section to the wizard for outdoor capable devices
that informs the user of of the regulatory situation and
allows a quick toggle of the outdoor mode.
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.
The batctl v2013.4 build was removed from the batman-adv-legacy package
as the current, upstream batctl releases work with batman-adv-legacy,
too.
As a replacement we need to add the upstream batctl dependency to
gluon-mesh-batman-adv-14 to have a batctl available again here.

The commit a080049735 ("gluon-status-page-mesh-batman-adv: Retrieve TQ of
neighbors with non-best direct link") removed the check whether a neighbor
has the BATADV_ATTR_FLAG_BEST set. But consumers may still want to filter
out or mark neighbors which don't have this flag set. To assist with such a
feature, enhance the neighbor object with an extra boolean "best" attribute
which stores whether the BATADV_ATTR_FLAG_BEST was found or not.

Links between two direct neighbors are not always the best route between
these devices. The flag BATADV_ATTR_FLAG_BEST would not be set for these
originator entries and the respondd module would just ignore this entry.
If these neighbors are not accepted and returned to the status page then
some of the neighbor entries will show a name, (acceptable) signal strength
and mac address but no TQ value.

Links between two direct neighbors are not always the best route between
these devices. The flag BATADV_ATTR_FLAG_BEST would not be set for these
originator entries and the respondd module would just ignore this entry.
This causes missing links in meshviewer and similar tools. And when the
link quality is nearly equal and but fluctuates slightly, these links will
from time to time appear and disappear on the map.

The device is broken until the next release. The LEDs are currently not
working (fixed in current OpenWRT master).
Also give a brief explanation about the BROKEN status being dependent on
the WiFi chip used and not the SoC family in general.
When two domains alias the same name (or one aliases another), display a
meaningful error message like:
Failed to alias domain 'foo' as 'bar', name already taken by
domain 'baz'.
The amount of local wifi clients is currently counted by two different
ways:
* asking the kernel wifi layer for the number of of clients on 2.4GHz and
5GHz band
* asking batman-adv for the number of non-timed out entries in the local
translation table with WiFi flag
The number of wifi24+wifi5 and the number of TT wifi client counts are
reported via respondd to various consumers. The ffrgb meshviewer is
displaying these values as:
* 2,4 GHz: wifi24
* 5 GHz: wifi5
* other: (TT local wifi+non-wifi clients) - (wifi24 + wifi5)
But the local translation table is holding entries much longer than the
wifi layer. It can therefore easily happen that a wifi client disappears in
the kernel wifi layer and batman-adv still has the entry stored in the
local TT.
The ffrgb meshviewer would then show this count in the category "other".
This often results in confusions because "other" is usually for ethernet
clients. And nodes with a frequently disappearing larger group of clients
(near bus stations or larger intersections) often show most clients under
the group "other" even when this devices doesn't have a LAN ethernet port.
It is better for presentation to calculate the number of total wifi clients
by summing up wifi24 + wifi5. And getting the number of total clients (non
wifi + wifi) by adding the result of the previous calculation to the sum of
non-wifi client in the local batman-adv translation table.

Gluon has multiple ways to obtain unique MAC-addresses. They are either
provided by the WiFi driver or derived from the primary MAC-address.
Quoting the same file:
> It's necessary that the first 45 bits of the MAC address don't
> vary on a single hardware interface, since some chips are using
> a hardware MAC filter. (e.g 'rt305x')
This currently fails in case the rt35xx based chips mac address differs
from the primary MAC. In this case, the MAC address for the client0 radio
(vif 1) comes from the WiFi driver. As there is only a single
MAC-address provided by '/sys/class/ieee80211/phyX/addresses' but the
MAC-address for mesh 0 (vif 2) is derived from the Node-ID, resulting in
different first 45 bits. The WiFi won't come up altogether in this case.
This commit verifies at least 4 MAC-Addresses are provided by the WiFi
driver. If this is not the case, all MAC-addresses are derived from the
primary MAC. This way, affected radios are working correctly.
This commit distributes dualband radios evenly on 2.4 GHz and 5GHz with
2.4 GHz being prioritised higher than 5 GHz. This means in case a device
has only a single radio and this radio supports operation in both bands,
it will be set to 2.4 GHz.
