Closes #932
Introduce the wifi option
distance_use_auto_if_availabledefault=true to enforce the value "auto" as distance for radio drivers that supports it like kmod-ath9k when compiled with CONFIG_PACKAGE_ATH_DYNACK=yCheck if driver supports auto setting
To verify the applied coverage run: "iw phy phyX info | grep Coverage"
If the value "auto" is requested for a driver that does not support it, use the lime-defaults value as a safer option than "auto" which could lead to the minimum being applied, potentially compromising long-range outdoor links.
Tested on these devices running lime master and openwrt 24.10.x:
