docs(openwrt): note the Ctrl+T/LuCI workaround for setting the initial root password

Archipelago's Connect form only authenticates with an existing password;

node's kiosk display there's no visible tab bar, so Ctrl+T to open a new
tab to LuCI is the way to set it before Connect will work.

**If the flash fails / the router doesn't come back**: filogic devices
don't use a reset-button recovery. Instead, connect to the router's LAN
port and, during boot, press a key within the first ~2 seconds to enter
