If set, label MAC address is available from one of two sources,
device tree or board.json. So far, the function get_mac_label
was meant for retrieving the address, while an option in uci
system config was specified only for case 2 (board.json).
The uci config option has several drawbacks:
- it is only used for a fraction of devices (those not in DT)
- label MAC address is a device property, while config implies
user interaction
- label_macaddr option will only be set if /etc/config/system
does not exist (i.e. only for new installations)
Thus, this patch changes the behavior of get_mac_label:
Instead of writing the value in board.json to uci system config
and reading from this location afterwards, get_mac_label now
extracts data from board.json directly. The uci config option
won't be used anymore.
In addition, two utility functions for extraction only from DT
or from board.json are introduced.
Since this is only changing the access to the label MAC address, it
won't interfere with the addresses stored in the code base so far.

For many devices, MAC addresses cannot be retrieved via the
device tree alias.
To still provide the label MAC address for those, this implements
a second mechanism that will put the address into uci config.
Note that this stores the actual MAC address, whereas in DTS
we reference the bearing device.
This is based on the work of Rosy Song <rosysong@rosinson.com>

To refer to the MAC address on a device's label, one can
specify the alias label-mac-device in the DTS which should
point to the bearer of the corresponding MAC address.
With the function get_mac_label, the user can retrieve then
retrieve this address and use it as a value that uniquely
identifies his device.
This is severely helpful for several downstream functionalities,
e.g. define MAC addresses of custom netifs or change the SSID to
be easily recognizable.

The actual retrieval of the MAC address in mtd_get_mac_binary_ubi()
is the same as in get_mac_binary(). Thus, use the latter function
in the former to reduce duplicate code.
This will also allow to benefit from the enhanced path check there
and bring mtd_get_mac_binary_ubi() more in line with the similar
mtd_get_mac_binary().

The mtd_get_mac_text helper method did not support hexadecimal offset
values, resulting them to break after 75bfc393ba ("treewide:
convert MAC address location offsets to hexadecimal")
This commit fixes this by evaluating the hexadecimal input,
converting them to decimal.

Logic was inverted when changing from string check to file check.
Fix it.

Currently, path argument is only checked for being not empty.
This changes behavior to actually check whether path exists.
