Add bcning field in router_config response

[soorajm13]

• [x] I have searched the issues of this repository and believe that this is not a duplicate.

Summary

The bcning is currently not sent in the router_config response.

What is the use-case?

Class B will require enabling bcning support. Tested with the currently released Chirpstack V4 docker, couldn't enable class B beacons and test it.

Example gateway configuration: Chirpstack V4 docker + LoRa basicstation 2.0.6 + sx1302 concentrator

Implementation description

Add bcning field to the LNS response. Update documentation and add news steps for enabling class B beacon support.

Can you implement this by yourself and make a pull request? No

I (as an end user) just reached the same conclusion for my own application While I suspect I could hack my own instance of the bridge to send hard-coded beacon information. It would be better to get the beacon configuration information from chirpstack rather than hardcode it.
