c02a2db05e treewide: update PKG_MIRROR_HASH after APK version schema
With the change in version schema the downloaded files changed, too,
mostly the hash is now prefixed with a tilde `~` instead of a dash `-`.

Since each downloaded archive contains folder with the same name as the
archive, the checksum changed.

yafut: add missing PKG_MIRROR_HASH
Add missing PKG_MIRROR_HASH. This is always needed as is used to
generate and use a tar instead of git clone and validate the hash of it.

yafut: add a kernel update tool for MikroTik NAND
Commit 9d96b6fb72 ("ath79/mikrotik: disable building NAND images")
disabled building images for MikroTik devices with NAND flash due to a
less than satisfactory method used for updating the kernel on those
devices back then.

To address the problem, add support for updating the kernel on MikroTik
devices with NAND flash using a new tool, Yafut, which enables copying
files from/to Yaffs file systems even if the kernel does not have native
support for the Yaffs file system compiled in.  Instead of erasing the
entire NAND partition holding the kernel during every system upgrade
(which is what the previously-used approach employing kernel2minor
involved), Yafut preserves the Yaffs filesystem present on that
partition and only replaces the kernel executable.  This allows bad
block information to be preserved across sysupgrade runs and also
enables wear leveling on the NAND partition holding the kernel.  Yafut
does not rely on kernel2minor in any way and intends to eventually
supersede the latter for NAND devices.
