prefixed when displaying. Otherwise it shows up as 'mesh_mesh'

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.

`0012-Makefile-modularize-driver.patch` mistakenly added 'wifi_mesh_init'
when it was already in 'nss_init.c'.
The patch following `0013-backport-12.4.patch` would then
clean up the "duplicated" entries.

Added a custom function to show NSS firmware version during boot.
```

```
Not sure why Qualcomm never included this ability in their drivers, since
it's clearly there in every firmware.

Cleaned up formatting and changed the way console messages are printed.
The message will now properly show up in dmesg output with color, and
date formatting rather than a non descriptive message like the following:
Before:
```
/lib/firmware/qca-nss0-retail.bin 33
/lib/firmware/qca-nss1-retail.bin 33
```
After:
```
[Mon Jul 8 07:21:12 2024] hotplug: symlinking /lib/firmware/qca-nss0.bin to /lib/firmware/qca-nss0-retail.bin
[Mon Jul 8 07:21:12 2024] hotplug: symlinking /lib/firmware/qca-nss1.bin to /lib/firmware/qca-nss1-retail.bin

This is mostly a cosmetic change and meant to make it easier to see
the to see history of commits.
The currently published NSS FW on QUIC's repo is:
NSS.HK.11.4.0.5-5-R which is on branch caf_migration/NHSS.QSDK.11.4.0.5
However, it's not the latest of the `11.4.0.5` release which is
NSS.HK.11.4.0.5-6-R which is on branch `origin/NSS_11.4.0.5`
Although the versions look to be minor releases. NSS driver shows
significant changes in the headers files concerning `wifi` and `wifi
mesh`.
When doing a diff between the 2 releases, it was hard to tell exactly
what changed because most of it seemed to be non-functional changes,
formatting, etc. This patch is only meant to make the files visually
similiar between the two releases, to better show functional changes.

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.

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

1.) Rather than modify upstream `smp_affinity` script, move changes into
this init script.
Primarily: "xhci-hcd:usb1", "ppdu-end-interrupts-mac1", "ppdu-end-interrupts-mac2"
2.) Move logging into separate function, and better account for NSS core
specific output.
3.) Set the defaults for `enable_rps` and `enable_log` to true ('1').
4.) Change startup to sequence to `94` [after `smp_affinity` (93)]

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
Using the previous version, not all nss related interrupts were being balanced across the available CPU cores.
This makes sure they are as well as moving a bit more off cpu0.
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.
