Core Update 156

Hello,

I would like to formally close Core Update 156 as soon as possible to merge it into “master” and release it to a wider audience for testing.

Does anyone have any changes that *must* be in this update?

I have the following things on my list:

* Dropping macvtap support: This is broken and I do not think that we would need this because we have bridges. Please review my proposed patch: https://lists.ipfire.org/pipermail/development/2021-April/009858.html

* Jonatan wanted to drop the other templates for the web UI

* Peter has some sysctl changes

Apart from that I would like to move our attention to testing this update and collecting patches for the next update. Core Update 156 is already quite large (15 MB compressed on x86_64) and so I would reject any larger changes unless really necessary.

Lots of thanks to Adolf for putting in so many hours to update all these packages that have received so little love in the past. Especially Perl is one of those which take ages and ages :)

Best,
-Michael
