    base-files: Use 200ms LED timing as before for the new phase preinit_regular. · 25b6072e

    This restores normal pre-r43715 200ms blink-period for the System LED we're all accustomed to see while our OpenWrt routers are booting.
    
    Failsafe possibility will now be signalled with a new 100ms blinking, which is easily recognizable from the normal 200ms booting.
    
    So no existing user will be scared by a new 500ms LED pattern, since such a slow pattern could easily be mistaken for something wrong... I was like "ok why my router is collapsing now, is this a bad flash, a kernel panic, or what else" when I've seen it for the first time ;)
    
    Sorry for not having explained myself better in v1 of this patch.
    
    Original:
    Preinit, failsafe is possible: 200ms
    Preinit, failsafe not possible anymore, booting normally: 200ms
    Failsafe entered: 50ms
    
    Now (after preinit_regular has been introduced):
    Preinit, failsafe is possible: 200ms
    Preinit, failsafe not possible anymore, booting normally: 500ms *here is the "offending" change*
    Failsafe entered: 50ms
    
    With my proposed patch:
    Preinit, failsafe is possible: 100ms *indicate this condition with a new timing, that prompts the user to press the key if they want to start failsafe*
    Preinit, failsafe not possible anymore, booting normally: 200ms *keep this as before*
    Failsafe entered: 50ms
