Replace showing `gro` (Generic Recieve Offload) with
`rx-gro-list` (GRO Fraglist) as that is the more problematic
feature known to cause issues.

This is meant to ease debugging when asking for support. Just run the
command "nss_diag" and include in your issues/forum posts.

This bumps NSS 11.4.0.5-5 to 11.4.0.5-6 along with the driver and client
packages.
This is the actual final release of 11.4.0.5 series. It brings in
changes related to mesh dummy paths and wifi.

The idea that "newer" NSS firmware = "better" is not always true.
Especially given that 11.4 is the only firmware known to work with mesh,
among other issues like WDS/rmnet_nss being broken on 12.5 releases.
Add option to allow building for all known and available NSS firmwares.
The following are now supported NSS firmwares:
1.) 11.4.0.5-5
2.) 12.1
3.) 12.2
4.) 12.5
Users should start with 11.4 as that seems to be the one with the most
enabled features. It is now also the default version.

This script is meant to set various skb_recycler settings. There is a
similar version in QSDK, but it's packaged in the main repo, rather than
an external package like 'qca-nss-drv'. To avoid making too many changes
in the main repo, introduce this script in `qca-nss-drv`.
This script will read the following config:
/etc/config/skb_recycler
```
config skb_recycler 'opt'
option max_skbs '1024'
option max_spare_skbs '256'
option enable '1'
```
Users are encouraged to experiment disabling `skb_recycler` to see if
memory leaks are still occuring, especially on 512M boards. There are issues
currently where skb_recycler corrupts skbs during times of high traffic, but there
wasn't a way to completely disable it.

* Cleaned up backports patch to only bring in header changes if they are
not tied directly to NSS firmware API. Because the API for NSS
firmware has strict structure and ordering, it ends up messing with
driver calls.

Reworked flawed smp_affinity logic. It was assumed that all 'nss_*' IRQs
needed to be equally balanced across all CPUs. However, what ends up
happening most of the time is messing with scheduling, thrashing, missed
cache and high context switching.
For each core:
1. nss_empty_buf_sos
2. nss_empty_buf_queue
3. nss_queue0
The IRQs should be kept on the same CPU. Doing so allows NSS cores to
properly feed and empty the queues.

This allows specifiying `CONFIG_NSS_FIRMWARE_VERSION_.*` on
the command line without having to set in .config. This is helpful if
needing to build/test both version quickly.

Update to comply with APK's `pkgver` format.
Rather than stick with the same convention as upstream `qca-ssdk` and
`qca-nss-dp` which uses:
```
$(PKG_NAME)-$(PKG_SOURCE_DATE)~$(PKG_SOURCE_VERSION)
```
i.e. `qca-ssdk-2024.06.13~c451136b.tar.zst`
Add in the QSDK version as part of the release since we
have options to build for both 11.4 and 12.5. This makes it easier to
debug build related issues, by knowing exactly which QSDK version is
being built against.
Example:
```
qca-nss-drv-11.4.0.5.2021.06.24~dc14ca2.tar.zst
qca-nss-drv-12.5.2024.04.06~53a0dc1.tar.zst
qca-nss-clients-11.4.0.5.2021.08.17~153998d.tar.zst
qca-nss-clients-12.5.2024.03.05~9a53b18.tar.zst

note: qca-nss-crypto, and qca-nss-cfi are non-code change releases, but
align with naming scheme upstream anyways.

1.) Moved `set_affinity` function outside of `enable_rps`
2.) Added 2 new functions `bitmask_to_cpus` and `cpus_to_bitmask`
a.) bitmask_to_cpus - Takes a bitmask of CPUs and returns a
list of CPU numbers. (i.e. `bitmask_to_cpus "f"` -> 0,1,2,3)
b.) cpus_to_bitmask - Takes a comma/space or range list of CPUs and returns
a bitmask. (i.e. `cpus_to_bitmask "2,3"` -> c)
3.) Changed logic of `set_affinity` to now use physical CPUs rather than
knowing the bitmask. This should make it more straight forward when
testing changes
4.) Added an UCI option `enable_log` to enable/disable logging output to
`logger`. Default is `1` (on)
5.) Removed unused UCI options `nss_firmware *`
6.) Changed the way UCI options are retrieved to account for missing
options.
7.) Moved '/lib/debug/qca-nss-drv' to '/usr/bin/nss_stats' so it's in
$PATH and has a more intuitive name
There are significant changes between NSS version 11.4.0.5 and 12.1 (12.0.5),
that it doesn't really make sense to use it with older firmware (i.e. using mesh releated
features).
This change will explicitly link building the proper driver and client
packages when FW 12.1 or 11.4 is selected, while also backporting
patches from 12.4.
To keep fork as closely synced with upstream, move NSS packages back
into repository. Not sure why they were moved out from my original fork.
* nss-firmware
* qca-nss-crypto
* qca-nss-cfi
Removed the following:
* mhz (already available in packages repo)
* qrtr (unecessary, and has been broken for years)
Also moved packages out of `qca` and back into root directory.
