The realtek target is not a router, but basic device, see DEVICE_TYPE.
The basic device type does not come with firewall by default, see
include/target.mk for details. The realtek target extended
DEFAULT_PACKAGES manually with firewall.

This changes the defaults to take firewall4 and nftables instead of
firewall and iptables. This also adds the additional package
kmod-nft-offload.
The only difference to the router type is the missing ppp and
ppp-mod-pppoe package.

This increases the compressed image size by about 260KBytes.

Commit 9e7149f729e9 ("realtek: revert to "standard" management configuration") 
changed the
default port configuration for realtek devices to only have LAN ports, instead 
of the
LAN/WAN VLANs that were used before. I wonder if it doesn't make more sense to 
drop the
firewall package from the default now, since there is only one interface, 
unless there is
a different reason to keep the firewall.

We can also remove firewall4 support from the realtek target. Probably most people will not use it for routing and if so they can install firewall4 manually. I just do not want to ship firewall3 by default.
