OpenWrt 24.10.0-rc5 - Fifth release candidate

Thanks for the new release to all devs and testers!

Upgraded a pair of devices:

Buffalo WZR-HP-AG300H
Netgear WAX206

So far just one (arguably cosmetic?) regression compared to 23.05.5 that I noticed on both of these.

Interestingly this is something I had seen in the past in a major release before 23 - can't remember/find the post/github any more unfortunately:

On a mesh wireless interface, which is configured for sae encryption, iwinfo (and, so, Luci UI) show it as having no encryption:

/etc/config/wireless:

config wifi-iface 'wifinet3'
	option device 'radio0'
	option mode 'mesh'
	option encryption 'sae'
	option mesh_id ...
	option mesh_fwding '1'
	option mesh_rssi_threshold '0'
	option ifname 'wl-.....'
	option key '...'
	option network 'mesh'

However:

# iwinfo 
...
