gluon-core: add outdoor support for 5 ghz radios

Add the `wifi5.outdoor_chanlist` site configuration that
allows specifying an outdoor channel range that can be
switched to for regulatory compliance.

Upon enabling the outdoor option the device will
 - configure the `outdoor_chanlist` on all 5 GHz radios
 - which may enable DFS/TPC, based on the regulatory domain
 - disable ibss/mesh on the 5 GHz radio, as DFS *will*
   break mesh connections
 - allow for htmode reconfiguration on 5 GHz radios

The outdoor option can be toggled from
 - Advanced Settings
   - W-LAN
     - Outdoor Installation

The `preserve_channel` flag overrules the outdoor channel
selection.
