Avoid shipping ath10k board file in Mikrotik initram images
Most will only ever need to use these initram images once—to initially
load OpenWrt, but fix these images for more consistent Wi-Fi performance
between the initram and installed squashfs images.
OpenWrt BUILDBOT config ignores -cut packages in the initram images build.
This results in BUILDBOT initram images including the linux-firmware
qca4019 board-2.bin, and (initram image booted) Mikrotik devices loading
a generic BDF, rather than the intended BDF data loaded
from NOR as an api 1 board_file.
buildbot snapshot booted as initram image:
cat /etc/openwrt_version

Since MikroTik subtarget now uses dynamic BDF loading its crucial that it
doesnt include the board-2.bin at all which is provided by the
ath10k-board-qca4019 package.
So to resolve this dont include the ath10k-board-qca4019 package on the
MikroTik subtarget.

This enables the MikroTik platform driver, it enables us to parse
valuable info from hard_config including WLAN calibration data
extraction from sysfs.

This enables the new MikroTik specific partition parser.
This avoids manually specifying the MikroTik specific partitions as they
can be detected by their magic values.

MikroTik devices require the use of raw vmlinux out of the self
extracting compressed kernels.
They also require 4K sectors, kernel2minor, partition parser as well as
RouterBoard platform drivers.
So in order to not add unnecessary code to the generic sub target lets
introduce a MikroTik sub target.
