This commit takes advantages of base-files 220 which introduces routines
to perform caldata loading directly via the kernel sysfs loader helper.
This has the benefits of not wasting flash space to store caldata.
Memory footprint is reduced to the bare minimum: for devices that don't
need MAC patching, the caldata is loaded directly, for devices that do
need MAC patching, the caldata is extracted to /tmp, patched and then
loaded.

With the implementation of a sysfs interface to access WLAN data, this
target no longer needs a special wrapper to extract caldata.

As evidenced here[1] the device MAC address can be stored at a random
offset in the hard_config partition. Rely on sysfs to update the MAC
address correctly.
To match sticker and vendor OS behavior, WAN MAC is set to the device
base MAC and LAN MAC is incremented from that.
Note: this will trigger a harmless kernel message during boot:
ag71xx 19000000.eth: invalid MAC address, using random address
There is no clean workaround to prevent this message from being emitted.

In RouterBOARD parlance there never was an "art" partition.
This partition has always been named 'hard_config' on ar71xx.
This partition contains more than just ART (Atheros Radio Test) data. It
includes the hardware description (product code, serial, board
identifier, name, hardware options, MAC address), as well as other bits
affecting the operation of RouterBoot.
To avoid confusion with regular ART data, this partition is renamed in
line with historical ar71xx and ramips nomenclature as 'hard_config'.

This commit fixes the previous support files and implements the nested
RouterBoot partition scheme as already used by ramips-based SPI-NOR
RouterBOARD DTSes, as previously reviewed and implemented in
bbe2cf657c ("ramips: fix RBM11G partitioning").

When creating the mikrotik subtarget, the execute bit on 02_network
was not set. Fix it.

This commit creates the ath79/mikrotik subtarget in order to support
MikroTik devices based on Qualcomm Atheros MIPS SoCs.
MikroTik devices need a couple of specific features: the split MiNOR
firmware MTD format, which is not used by other devices, and the 4k
sector erase size on SPI NOR storage, which can not be added to the
ath79/generic and ath79/nand subtargets now.
Additionally, the commit moves the two MikroTik devices already in
the generic and nand subtargets to this new one.
Tested on the RB922 board and the wAP AC router.
