[Commotion-dev] Unifying Serval and Commotion Mesh

[Josh King]

In it's earliest incarnation, the Commotion firmware was meant to be interoperable with the R.O.B.I.N. and open-mesh.com firmware, which uses 5.0.0.0/8 by default, presumably because it was formerly unallocated. We've long since superseded any requirement to maintain that default interoperability at all costs, and I've always intended to switch to something else as the default. I know some of the Byzantium folks have suggested 44/8, an unallocated block for amateur radio.
