New packages: cligen and clixon

[Philip Prindeville]

Hi all,

I know we've talked about replacing OpenWRT's native configuration representation with something more flexible... and things like NETCONF and OpenConfig come up from time to time.

To that end, I've two PR's open:

https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/22359
https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/22362

which will hopefully be merged before too long.  I welcome anyone who's interested to play with these and checkout the capabilities of YANG, NetConf, and RestConf for provisioning network equipment.  Comments welcome.

There's work to be done in data modelings for devices, as well.

https://github.com/openconfig/public/tree/master/release/models

There's other stuff I can point to if anyone is interested.  There's periodically some discussion about replacing UCI with something better, and YANG modeling comes up from time to time.  Here's part of the infrastructure to do that.

Thanks,

-Philip
