Use the candelatech firmware for the QCA Wave-2 firmware.
The Qualcomm firmware used for the IPQ401x chip in OpenWrt in 22.03
is experiencing heavily degraded performance due to excessive
retransmits when using A-MSDU. Disabling VHT modes or switching to the
candelatech firmware circumvents this issue.
Apply the same to other Wave-2 platforms in order to keep consistency
with upstream.
Wave-1 chips do not support mesh modes with the -ct firmware, so keep
using the QCA firmware in their case.

commit 071cf7b20f ("Switch to Lua for target definitions")
Has prior been introduced as untested -> broken in
commit d586720c5c ("ar71xx-generic: add support for Ubiquiti NanoBeam M5")
Was commented out in the former commit.
Re-add mikrotik target
Note that previous images were generic ones and as such no migration
path is provided other than manually flashing the image via config-mode.
- [x] Must be flashable from vendor firmware
- [x] Web interface
- [ ] TFTP (untested, but possible according to OpenWrt wiki)
- [ ] Other: <specify>
- [x] Must support upgrade mechanism
- [x] Must have working sysupgrade
- [x] Must keep/forget configuration (`sysupgrade [-n]`, `firstboot`)
- [x] Gluon profile name matches autoupdater image name
(`lua -e 'print(require("platform_info").get_image_name())'`)
- [x] Reset/WPS/... button must return device into config mode
- [x] Primary MAC address should match address on device label (or packaging)
(https://gluon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dev/hardware.html#notes)
- When re-adding a device that was supported by an earlier version of Gluon, a
factory reset must be performed before checking the primary MAC address, as
the setting from the old version is not reset otherwise.
- Wired network
- [x] should support all network ports on the device
- [x] must have correct port assignment (WAN/LAN)
- On devices supplied via PoE, there is usually no explicit WAN/LAN labeling on the hardware.
The PoE input should be the WAN port in this case.
- Wireless network (if applicable)
- [x] Association with AP must be possible on all radios
- [x] Association with 802.11s mesh must work on all radios
- [x] AP+mesh mode must work in parallel on all radios
- LED mapping
- Power/system LED
- [x] Lit while the device is on
- [x] Should display config mode blink sequence
(https://gluon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/features/configmode.html)
- Radio LEDs
- [x] Should map to their respective radio
- [x] Should show activity
- Switch port LEDs
- [x] Should map to their respective port (or switch, if only one led present)
- [x] Should show link state and activity
Remove support for the TP-Link WDR4900, as it us currently unable to
load its kernel sure to factory bootloader constraints.
