If wifi is disabled, we will be using a "fake" device for the meshrf. However, this requires that the
underlying physical device is attached, and this might not be the case on devices with present
multiple ethernets (e.g. eth0 and eth1). Detect this and add an extra Hna4 config to OLSR to allow it to
keep using the wifi_ip even when no physical ethernet is attached.

* Migrate dmz_mode into /etc/config/aredn
* Use cmd append
* Changes should be in /etc/config.mesh
* Add commit
Aliases in NAT mode allows the node admin to create alias names for hosts on the LAN and then use those for creating port forwarding rules. The aliases DO NOT effect the rest of the mesh network and are not propagated via OLSR.
NAT Mode aliases are only usable on the local LAN where the IP addresses are known and routable only on the subnet. Since the NAT hides these IP addresses or the node masquerades, other mesh nodes and devices by definition only know about the node’s hostname. Thus aliases on the LAN in NAT mode are not propagated by OLSR across the mesh. You _CANNOT_ use an alias name in a service listing.
You _will_ be able to set an alternate hostname for any host on the nodes' LAN however.
A host named `CBY45-DELLLAPTOP` can also be known as `wxc-shack-laptop`. It may make remembering which host is which a bit easier.
Since OLSR does not propagate the alias, the "Do Not Propagate" checkbox while in NAT Mode is hidden.
* enhancement: show the "non propagated" hosts as a grey color in the mesh list on the localnode.
This allows for the node admin to see, at a glance, which of the hosts are "hidden" or not.
* changed colors a little bit for the black background styles.
also assed in the aliases so now they will show up as a different color too.
this only effects the mesh listing on the localnode to where the aliases and/or non propagated hosts are.
the rest of the network does not see this.
* add a tooltip to the aliased/non propagated hostnames to help explain what they mean
Allows for aliased hostnames on the mesh. One IP/Host can be assigned to multiple hostnames.
This is useful for many things including virtual hosts, virtual machines, virtual email addresses, etc.
The possibilities are actually _endless_.
Fixes#516
Allows for the node admin to choose to have DHCP leased hostnames/IP's propagated over the rest of the mesh network or not.
Defaults to allowing the hostname/IP to propagate.
The hostname/IP will *still* be resolvable from the localnode and will show up in the list of hosts on the localnode only.
This allows for selected local mesh devices to be not available over the rest of the mesh network.
ie: switches, routers, cameras, etc.
This will work immediately for *new* DHCP leases when the checkbox is selected.
For *existing* DHCP leases, it may take a while for the network to update, if ever.
To speed up the process of full network OLSR "DNS" updating, reboot all the nearest neighbor device(s) to the node you made these changes to.
That seems to get the changes "out" to the rest of the network faster than normal.
Fixes#508
* aredn: hAP ac lite enable 5GHz LAN Access Point
enable ability to bridge LAN physical ports with wireless
LAN Access Point capability. On dual band hAP ac lite,
used in parallel with mesh RF on 2GHz. Enables future
features on single band devices to turn off mesh RF and
repurposed for mesh LAN Access Point.
closes: #215
Add support for the hAP lite model rb952UI-5ac2nD equivilent to
the UBNT AirRouter. The 5Ghz interface will be configured in a
2nd phase. This hAP lite model has double the RAM and Flash
of the AR. the 2Ghz is MIMO (5Ghz is single antenna).
olsrd-watchdog can trigger when the olsrd service is restarted
Such as when a tunnel comes up, or when a config change is
made to olsrd.
procd already monitors olsrd and makes sure it remains running.
With procd we no longer need olsrd-watchdog and can remove it.

RFC requires that the DHCP server include the default gateway (0.0.0.0/0) route as part the Classless network list.
Moved to node-setup so it can be set dynamically at setup run time.
fixes AREDN->ticket:155
Mainly relates to TP-Link devices which have a roving power level programmed into the hardware.
The datasheets for the hardware may say higher power but the chip has been programmed to not go above these values.
Trying to registry over-write the antenna setting has never been a good idea in the first place.
The hardware fully handles antenna selection without forcing it already.
ref AREDN->ticket:120
When calling uci commit the file gets overwritten and as such the additional file lines are discarded because the active /etc/config/firewall is diffrent than the open file.
Use the uci commit further down in node setup.
nvram-setup may be the only script we have to worry about as it may call configs for interfaces that do not exist in the current mode.
By default get_interface will return a static mapping when it can't find an active config entry meaning that eventually get_interface will need an update routine to pull out of local running config
The lack of this update routine should be acceptable for now as we have no GUI for users to change the mapping.
Since a large number of the BBHNDev team has decided to create firmware fully independent of the BBHN Project the decision has been made to rebrand the firmware to differentiate from the origional BBHN work.
We would like to thank all those whom have worked on the BBHN firmware over the years and all those who continue to work on the firmware under AREDN(TM).
Program went GPLv3 last year but license text was never added to files

mid hostname entries are only created on remote nodes and are not created on the local node (by design of nameservice module)
In order to allow links on remote nodes olsr status screens and potentionaly other locations to resolve correctly we must add a hostname for the dtdlink interface into the name service beacons.
In addtion we need to ensure the UI looks at these links instead.
This feature will need to be looked at for long in the mesh status screen to find a better method to display these connections.

The dtdlink interface is vlan 2 on eth0 and is used for linking two or more devices together.
This will allow for band-to-band repeaters, sector antenna setups, etc.
see BBHN->ticket:28
Includes removing files that are provided by packages instead
of being embedded as binaries.
Changes made for UBNT hardware AND for newer base openwrt (Backfire)
