user definable additions to node name #5

Description

@Little-Ben

Would be good to have the possibility to optionally change additional information in node name.
Therefore the GUI could have checkboxes, text fields etc.

Additional information could be

  1. option (checkbox) to add mac right after node name, instead of hardcoding this,
    e.g. " (66:72:03:3d:7e:32)"
  2. option (text field) to add a definable prefix, e.g. short community name "[FFWP]"
  3. option (text field) to add a definable suffix for 5GHz
  4. option (checkbox) to add a increasing number (loop counter) to name - in case there are nodes with duplicate names
  5. option (checkbox) to add hardware right after node name, e.g. " / TP-Link TL-WDR3600 v1"

If neither mac (Point 1) nor "5GHz"-suffix (Point 3) is checked then default to appending "(5GHz)" for uniqueness in 5GHz band.

so results might look like this:

2.4GHz:
66:72:03:3d:7e:32|KUS-Ulmet-1
66:72:03:3d:7e:32|[FFWP]0123_KUS-Ulmet-1
66:72:03:3d:7e:32|[FFWP]KUS-Ulmet-1 / TP-Link TL-WDR3500 v1
66:72:03:3d:7e:32|KUS-Ulmet-1(66:72:03:3d:7e:32)
66:72:03:3d:7e:32|[FFWP]KUS-Ulmet-1 / TP-Link TL-WDR3500 v1(66:72:03:3d:7e:32)

0123 is number from point 4 (with left padded zeros, 4 digits).

5GHz:
66:72:04:3d:7e:32|[FFWP]KUS-Ulmet-1(5GHz)
66:72:04:3d:7e:32|[FFWP]KUS-Ulmet-1(66:72:04:3d:7e:32)
66:72:04:3d:7e:32|[FFWP]KUS-Ulmet-1 / TP-Link TL-WDR3500 v1(5GHz)

and similar combinations...

Maybe hardware name could be shortend due to available space.
A model abbreviation could therefore be defined in ./data/hardware.json, e.g. "TL-WDR3500v1".

Then shown string could be shortend to e.g.:
66:72:04:3d:7e:32|[FFWP]KUS-Ulmet-1/TL-WDR3500v1(5GHz)
