Add information about old x86 images

T-X created a pretty cool table to evaluate mesh-vpn protocols on this hedgedoc:
https://md.chaotikum.org/zRkW6JXXQs-8WCnwdtig5w?view

To give it more visibility, I would like to add it to the docs as suggested somewhere

* document network roles and their effects

Unlike Markdown, RST uses double backticks for monospace text; single
backticks result in italic text. Use monospace for commands like the
surrounding paragraphs.

Debugging binaries in images that are built with sstrip is extremely
annoying, as not even objdump will work on them.

Switching from sstrip to standard strip increases the ath79 image size
(for some usual Archer C7 v2 configuration I used for testing) by ~70KiB,
or 1.3% of the rootfs size (~1% of the total image size), which is
rarely worth the decreased debuggability.

Extend GLUON_DEBUG to not only distinguish 0 and 1, such that:

- 0 uses sstrip same as before
- 1 switches to regular strip; this is the new default
- 2 includes all debug info, like GLUON_DEBUG=1 did before
