Add shared-state-async network statistics sharing

We should keep compatibility (or at least avoid breaking it explicitly) with OpenWrt 21 at least until we make a release based on OpenWrt 23, in my opinion. Please use random_numgen instead of $RANDOM. See #800

This stuff (and in general what is meant for mesh-wide milestone) is developed on top (and depends) on OpenWrt development branch, as an example shared-state-async depends on a GCC version which is not shipped yet in OpenWrt stable releases, otherwise it will not compile properly.
So doing the change you suggests hoping for retro-compatibility would be futile.

[G10h4ck]

other even more retro-compatibility breaking stuff is coming to out of my experimentation to have better support for newer radios https://www.youtube.com/live/DOH5FBMTXmE?feature=shared&t=10848

Ok, will it work at least on OpenWrt 23?
If not, please do not propose those changes on the master branch, which is being used for preparing a release based on OpenWrt 23 (we could also create a branch for the release...).

[G10h4ck]

AFAIU it will not work on OpenWrt 23 either, @javierbrk tried to compile and failed because of not enough recent compiler AFAIR

Better creating a branch for the planned release and backport there stuff if needed, while development keep staying on master branch

[ilario]

Ok, please create a branch with the code you know will work with OpenWrt 23.

Ain't got time for that last compatible commit should be this a5eb7d8

I compiled shared-state-async from a823f47 for OpenWrt 23.05.2 and it is working.

Hi ! My compilation errors were using gcc 11 shipped with openwrt 22.03 ! Saludos Ing. Javier Alejandro Jorge

Good news! So we can go ahead without dealing with multiple branches for now
