New U-Boot version for MediaTek MT76x8/MT762x based ALFA Network boards
includes support for a 'dual image' feature. Users can enable it using
U-Boot environment variable 'dual_image' ('1' -> enabled).
When 'dual image' feature is enabled, U-Boot will modify DTB and divide
the original 'firmware' flash area into two, equal in size and aligned
to 64 KB partitions: 'firmware' and 'backup'. U-Boot will also adjust
size of 'firmware' area to match installed flash chip size.
U-Boot will load kernel from active partition which is marked with env
variable 'bootactive' ('1' -> first partition, '2' -> second partition)
and rename both partitions accordingly ('firmware' <-> 'backup').
There are 3 additional env variables used to control 'dual image' mode:
- bootlimit - maximum number of unsuccessful boot tries (default: '3')
- bootcount - current number of boot tries
- bootchanged - flag which informs that active partition was changed; if
it is set and 'bootcount' reaches 'bootlimit' value,
U-Boot will start web-based recovery which then updates
both partitions with provided image

This replaces all uses of $(cat /sys/class/ieee80211/phyX/macaddress)
by retrieval from the proper flash locations. This will make
02_network independent of WiFi setup again.

As started in 19724e28c8 ("ramips: split base-files into
subtargets"), this moves some smaller left-over files to the
appropriate base-files folder of their subtarget:
- /etc/init.d/bootcount
- /etc/uci-defaults/04_led_migration

So far, MAC address assignment in ramips has contained a default
case, which defined wan_mac = eth0 + 1 for _every_ device not
having an explicit case there.
This is not desirable, as many device supporters will just not
care or know about this definition, so another MAC address will be
introduced by accident. In some cases the wan_mac is assigned
although it is not needed, in other cases even addresses not
dedicated to the device will be used (e.g. wan_mac actually is
eth0 - 1, but during support nobody cared, so eth0 + 1 is used now,
which might actually belong to another device ...).
Thus, in this PR the former default case is converted to an
explicit case. This one comprises all devices not being accounted
for by other cases, reduced by those not having wan at all.
The big number of entries for this node might be another indication
that many of them wouldn't actually be there if there hadn't been
default wan_mac setup.
In exchange, the current "do nothing" case can be removed, as it
will be the new default case.
The devices being put in the newly created explicit case were
determined as follows:
1. Create a list of all devices based on the DTS files.
2. Remove all devices already having an explicit entry setting
their address.
3. Remove all devices that only have lan set up in the first part
of 02_network:

4. Put the remaining devices in the new case.

While most of the target's contents are split into subtargets, the
base-files are maintained for the target as a whole.
However, OpenWrt already implements a mechanism that will use (and
even prefer) files in the subtargets' directories. This can be
exploited to make several scripts subtarget-specific and thus save
some space.
In certain cases, keeping files in parent (=target) base-files was
more convenient, and thus no splitting was performed for those.
Note that this will increase overall code lines, but reduce code
per subtarget.
