ipq40xx: switch Wave2 firmware to -ct (#2541)

Use the candelatech firmware for the QCA Wave-2 firmware. The Qualcomm firmware used for the IPQ401x chip in OpenWrt in 22.03 is experiencing heavily degraded performance due to excessive retransmits when using A-MSDU. Disabling VHT modes or switching to the candelatech firmware circumvents this issue. Apply the same to other Wave-2 platforms in order to keep consistency with upstream. Wave-1 chips do not support mesh modes with the -ct firmware, so keep using the QCA firmware in their case. Signed-off-by: David Bauer <[email protected]>
