Misanthropos b359ed1887 gluon-setup-mode: add DECT button to enter setup mode
many AVM devices do not have RESET/WPS buttons. So use the otherwise unused DECT/PHONE button to boot the device into setup mode.

This patch allows to enter the setup-mode by pressing the phone button
(often labeled as DECT) in addition to WPS and reset button.

This patch is necessary to allow supporting boards without a WPS and reset
button (e.g. AVM FRITZ!Box 7312).

Config Mode
===========
When in Config Mode a node will neither participate in the mesh nor connect
to the VPN using the WAN port. Instead, it'll offer a web interface on the
LAN port to aid configuration of the node.
Whether a node is in Config Mode can be determined by a characteristic
blinking sequence of the SYS LED:

Activating Config Mode
----------------------
Config Mode is automatically entered at the first boot. You can re-enter
Config Mode by pressing and holding the RESET/WPS/DECT button for about three
seconds. The device should reboot (all LEDs will turn off briefly) and
Config Mode will be available.
Port Configuration
------------------
In general, Config Mode will be offered on the LAN ports. However, there
are two practical exceptions:
* Devices with just one network port will run Config Mode on that port.
* Devices with PoE on the WAN port will run Config Mode on the WAN port instead.
Accessing Config Mode
---------------------
Config Mode can be accessed at http://192.168.1.1. The node will offer DHCP
to clients. Should this fail, you may assign an IP from 192.168.1.0/24 to
your computer manually.
