docs(openwrt): document the transient post-reboot apk-update failure
Observed live on archy-x250-pa3: right after WAN reconnects (fresh boot or WAN reconfigure), the first Install attempt can fail with "apk update failed ... router may have no internet access" purely because the WiFi-uplink STA association hasn't finished yet — it's not a real error, just retry a few seconds later. Also cross-referenced the now-fixed /usr/bin/opkg hardcoding bug for anyone hitting it on an older build.

running an Archipelago build from before that fix, update first.
