Use LED modules to enable more visible feedback on VyOS hardware chassis. Currently, visible feedback on hardware chassis running VyOS is limited to hardware controlled LED status change and very few triggers. Especially network activity cannot be monitored. With the triggers enabled by this commit, one may signal traffic on "virtual" NICs like bridges, TUN/TAP devices and similar. It may be highly desirable to just "see" if a tunnel is up / has traffic on it or not. This commit enables all Kernel LED trigger modules that are curently available along with support for some more LED driver chips.

Use LED modules to enable more visible feedback on VyOS hardware chassis.
Currently, visible feedback on hardware chassis running VyOS is limited to
hardware controlled LED status change and very few triggers. Especially
network activity cannot be monitored.

"virtual" NICs like bridges, TUN/TAP devices and similar. It may be
highly desirable to just "see" if a tunnel is up / has traffic on it or not.
This commit enables all Kernel LED trigger modules that are curently
available along with support for some more LED driver chips.
For an example, here is the docs on how to use LEDs on the PC-Engines APU2 boards.
