Add `NB_DNS_STATE_FILE="/var/lib/netbird/state.json"` to the init
environment. This moves the state from the directory
`/root/.config/netbird` to the file `/var/lib/netbird/state.json` to
avoid storage wear. Note: the file is not preserved across reboots.
The state file contains information such as locally disabled routes and
other data primarily useful for desktop clients. In OpenWrt setups,
these changes are normally handled by the NetBird `management` server.
This matches the behavior prior to `netbird` v0.52.x, I have not
received any reports that this file caused problems before, so it is
unlikely to cause issues now.
The previous state file `/root/.config/netbird/state.json` can be removed.

Add support for `netbird` profiles feature [1] (introduced in 0.52.2). Use
`NB_STATE_DIR="/root/.config/netbird"` in the init file instead of the
previous `NB_CONFIG="/etc/netbird/config.json"`, and update Makefile
configuration paths accordingly.
Rationale: `netbird` saves state/configuration under `/var` by default. On
OpenWrt, `/var` is a symlink to `/tmp` (a volatile location), which would
cause config loss after reboot or reflash. Using `/root/.config/netbird`
avoids this, it's a valid upstream directory not used by default.
`netbird` will migrate existing configurations.
This change will not be backported to preserve the current meaning of
"stable" in OpenWrt and to avoid (unlikely but possible) breakage of
existing installations.

changelog: https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/releases/tag/v0.53.0
Update init file to include `NB_CONFIG="/etc/netbird/config.json"`
variable, ensuring configuration compatibility as before (fixes issue
introduced by profiles feature in 0.52.2). Existing configurations remain
compatible.
Note: license for some components (`management`, `relay`, `signal`) changed
to **AGPLv3**. These components aren't packaged for OpenWrt, so there's no
immediate effect, but record the change for future reference.

changelog: https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/releases/tag/v0.52.2
`netbird` now supports profiles [1]. The configuration file has been
moved from `/etc/netbird/config.json` to `/var/lib/netbird/`. The
migration is handled by `netbird` itself.
However, in OpenWrt, the `/var` directory is a symbolic link to
`/tmp`, which is a temporary directory. This can result in
configuration loss after rebooting or flashing a new image. This
issue will be fixed in the next release, 0.53.0.
**I reported this behavior upstream [2].**

Remove parameters added in commit 7b3d033ab6
that were intended to reestablish the `netbird` connection when the
`wan` state changes. This functionality is already handled by
`netbird`. If it fails, it should be reported as a bug upstream.
