Conventional design of branch naming

[FreifunkUFO]

Lets rename the branches to the openwrt standard used names.
there is no need for different treatment of lime-packages, it would confuse many people.

the standard is: master-branch is for development, all openwrt releases have own branches

[FreifunkUFO]

example: stuff for openwrt 19.07 is named like this:
https://github.com/freifunk/openwrt-packages/tree/openwrt-19.07
https://github.com/openwrt-routing/packages/tree/openwrt-19.07
https://github.com/openwrt/packages/tree/openwrt-19.07
https://github.com/openwrt/luci/tree/openwrt-19.07

Curently we are targeting 18.06 and 19.07 and maybe master with the same codebase.
After the release we would be targeting 19.07 and 20.xx (if openwrt does a release this year) and master.
Having one branch per openwrt target would be a lot of work to maintain. I still think that we can achieve compatibility with multiple openwrt versions with the same codebase in an easier way than having one branch per openwrt version, or at least that is my opinion of the last two years experience.

@FreifunkUFO can you please check the proposal of naming that is here?
