Add a status page for the Babel protocol of BIRD, with up to 24 hours of history from the bird-babel-collector package. - Cards: neighbour count, current IPv4 and IPv6 default route and how long it has been selected, default route changes and neighbour losses in the last 24 hours - Gateway route: the hops from this router to the node that originates the selected default route, as traced by the collector; until a trace of the current route is done, the next hop and the gateway from BIRD with the routers in between as ⋯, which tells when the trace runs. IPv6 is shown as well when its route differs from IPv4, or alone without IPv4. - Graph: this router, its Babel interfaces, the mesh APs bridging them (from optional hints) and the neighbours heard on each, coloured by link cost. Networks joined at layer 2 outside the router, which makes it hear its own hellos, share a loop node that explains the problem and how to resolve it. - Neighbours: name (marked when it is the last known one), vendor and model, addresses, link cost, RTT, hello reception, routes, 99th percentiles and a cost sparkline - Default route timeline (selected, standby, none, not present, no data collected) of IPv4, or of IPv6 when there is only an IPv6 default route, and link cost and RTT charts with min, average, P99, max and last, over the history the collector has (at most 24 hours, no range buttons). Link cost is on a log scale, squashed above 512 (dashed line) so a few very bad links leave room for the usable ones. Samples without usable neighbours are drawn as dots. - Dragging across any of the time charts, with mouse, finger or pen, zooms all of them into that span, loaded at full resolution; a click or tap zooms back out. Vertical swipes still scroll the page. - Event log and Babel interfaces table - Live data every 5 s and history every 30 s, updating only what changed; the history refresh only asks for the data since the last one, with a full refresh (and new percentiles) every 5 minutes. When the router turns down a history query (it rate limits calls without a login) the page says so and retries. Times follow the configured clock hour cycle. - ACL limited to reading the bird-babel ubus object (status, history, events) and the system UCI config README.md explains how the view is built and why, and how to test and translate it, for further development.

Description
New status page for the Babel protocol of BIRD (Status → Babel), with up to
24 hours of history from bird-babel-collector.
neighbour losses in the last 24 h
by link cost. A router hearing its own hellos (layer 2 loop) is shown as
such, with how to fix it.
routes and 99th percentiles
