net: mstpd: new package (multiple spanning tree daemon) This change adds support for mstpd (Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol Daemon). mstpd works reasonably well with RSTP. MSTP protocol works ok, but is known to have some issues with some managed switches. In order to get this to work, each physical switch port needs to have it's own software network interface (so, for example: port 0 <==> eth0). This means that this is suited mostly for higher end devices that can process STP packets in software. An interface for `swconfig` or Linux's DSA or switchdev would haven been interesting, but it never materialized. Adding this in the OpenWrt packages feed may provide some interest or feedback on whether `mstpd` should do more, to integrate with managed switches and offer some basis for Linux (through OpenWrt) as an OS for managed switches.

# Meanwhile, procd will start mstpd, and all will be well
