The video feed just got support for Wayland which allows OpenWrt devices
to run as a Kiosk (displaying browser content via a display).

The availability of these packages should be mentioned to users.

The final Python 3.5 release was 3.5.10 in September 2020 [0].
This release series is now End-of-Life (EOL).

The only LTS distribution that still only ships Python 3.5 is Ubuntu 16.04,
which will be EOL in April 2021 [1].

The meson build system bumped their python requirement to 3.6 for the 0.57.0
release. This patch ensures that OpenWrt can update meson while still
relying on the host python.

`which` utility is not shipped by default for example on recent Arch
Linux and then any steps relying on its presence fails, like for example
following Python3 prereq build check:

 $ python3 --version
 Python 3.9.1

 $ make
 /bin/sh: line 1: which: command not found
 ...
 Checking 'python3'... failed.

So make `which` utility host build requirement.

FS#2086 "IS_TTY in the makefile is broken" reports flawed detection of
stdout piping to a file. The issue describes how e.g. terminal color
codes and up in log files if running make like `make > log.txt`.

The proposed solution uses the make variable "MAKE_TERMOUT", which was
introduced in make 4.1. All major distributions seem to updated to 4.1
or later, so this ideally dosen't break anything.

Some Git hoster (e.g. sr.ht) disable hosting of svg images (xml) to
avoid XSS attacks. To show the logo correctly on all code hosters use a
"safe" PNG image.

Also move logo(s) to include/ folder to lower autocomplete churn with
the `logs/` folder. While at it, replace absolute logo path and make it
relative, as this may break other code hosters as well.

The README is no longer important to only developers but also users.
Reflect that by adding valuable information for everyone new to OpenWrt!
