Keep the transient files in the system's /mnt/tmp, and only persist
startup_db in /cfg.
This design (with a symlink) means that /cfg/startup_db _must_ exist
in order for clixon to start properly. Therefore run
/lib/infix/prep-db to take care of this.
At the moment, this just creates an empty factory config, and copies
it to startup if it doesn't exist. In the future, prep-db could select
a factory config based on some hardware identifier, or even build one
dynamically, based on available ports etc.

In the new model, we have three sources of storage:
- /mnt/var: Mountpoint for a disk with the label "var"
- /mnt/cfg: Mountpoint for a disk with the label "cfg"
- /mnt/tmp: Mountpoint for a ramdisk
These sources are used for the following overlays:
- **/cfg, /home, /root**: /mnt/cfg if available, else /mnt/tmp
- **/etc**: /mnt/cfg if available and the boot/etc finit condition is
set, else /mnt/tmp
- **/var**: /mnt/var if available, else /mnt/tmp
- **/var/lib**: /mnt/var if available, else /mnt/cfg if available,
else /mnt/tmp
See board/common/rootfs/lib/infix/mnt for more information.
The nano editor has been shown, over and over again, to be more
user-friendly to complete UNIX/Linux beginners than even Mg.
Also, change the default pager/less to be less (again), it was
very confusing to have less be most and more just be more. We
recommend scripts to use pager and edit/editor to call system
safe defaults.

This change checks¹ if the system does not have a br0 interface, creates
a default one consisting of all switch ports in VLAN 1 of br0.
On top of br0 a vlan1 management interface is created with DHCP address.
For emulation and test purposes, a way to supply tap interfaces from
Qemu, and pass off as if they were regular switch ports, is added.
____
¹ obviously a better way to detect a factory-reset device is needed,
not all systems running infix will need or want a br0 interface.

Do not wait for dhclient to acquire first release, this will cause
unnecessary delays when booting, and not provide any real value in our
system. Because we will never have any service that depends on a
network address being set when starting up, this is a feature that
Finit can provide for us as a condition when starting such services.
Also, never set global "README" in multiple policy files, this will
cause ifupdown2 to crash in horrific ways.

The default policy for management interface prefix in ifupdown2 is
"eth", which currently clashes with Infix default switch port names.
Changing our naming policy of switch ports to "swpN", mimicing the
naming using in Cumulus Linux, would also help. To be discussed.

We will not use features like batman, vxrd, or openvswitch. Also, the
clagd and vxrd addons are not in ifupdown2, so likely proprietary ext.
by Cumulus. Dropping them makes "unknown addon" warnings go away.

Various scripts and tools search for the ip command in different
places. Most distros install it to /bin/ip and symlink to /sbin
and /usr dito, but Buildroot only installs to /sbin/ip

Unlike debugfs, cfgfs is currently an optional feature in Infix, so
let's set it to noauto for now.
