* Improve the firmware upgrade process
The old firmware upgrade process attempted to free up RAM by reusing
the 'upgrade_kill_prep' script which is later used by '/sbin/sysupgrade'.
Unfortuantely this doesn't work as intented. While the script will go about
killing various services, 'procd' just goes and starts them up again using
quite a bit more memory in the process. Instead this script just kills
the various daemons 'no questions asked' and then runs the associated
'/etc/init.d/xxx stop' script to instruct 'procd' not the start them up again.
This gets us to the place the original script was trying to go.

* api: add RF IP for non-RF links
Add the RF IP address for non-RF linked devices. This allows the
services to be displayed for non-RF Current Neighbors.
* remove case manipulation
Update the alert banner background color to distinguish it from the
"supported hardware" messages. This makes it look more like a standard
sticky note.
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
Change the Advanced Configuration warning banner: slightly wider to
distinguish from Alerts banner, add WARNING and make text color pure
white for contrast.
In the US, part 97 ham radio lower band edge is 5650.
Channel 131 @ 10MHz channel width is the lowest channel
setting that stays within allocation.

in the past nodes could be configured uniquely for
a given mode: ap, wifi client, mesh. Current behavior
in basic setup no longer has unique modes, rather wireless
cards can be configured in different modes in basic setup
and devices with multiple wireless interfaces can
be setup to use multiple modes at the same time.

* enhancement: added contact info/comment field for each tunnel connection.
Allows for a short comment or an email address so you can remember who to contact for each tunnel.
The field is optional and does not need to be filled out to get a tunnel connection up.
Also cleaned up some of the layout on the tunnel pages and hopefully made it a bit easier to tell what is what.

Mesh status will show service entries of a remote mesh
node at the top with 0 ETX value. The owning mesh hostname
displays blank across the mesh network.
The root cause is OLSR not propagating the node's hostname due
to the admin assigning a conflicting/duplicate hostname. These
services will no longer show in mesh status.
