Add repeater and bridge for Zigbee

Hardware specification

ESP32-C6

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I miss using ESP32-C6 as a repeater in Zigbee.
And much greater using ESP32-C6 as a bridge in Zigbee. For example between Zigbee and MQTT(via LAN module) or Zigbee and RS485 MySensors.

Describe the solution you'd like

As Integration in an existing system.

Add these lines for a repeater

#ifndef ZIGBEE_MODE_ZCZR /////////////// Router here

esp_zb_cfg_t zigbeeConfig = ZIGBEE_DEFAULT_ROUTER_CONFIG(); //////////////// Router here

Hi @DaTTcz,

to use the device as a router (repeater), all you need is to select this role in the call Zigbee.begin():

Roles defined in the ZigbeeCore.h:

// enum of Zigbee Roles
typedef enum {
  ZIGBEE_COORDINATOR = 0,
  ZIGBEE_ROUTER = 1,
  ZIGBEE_END_DEVICE = 2
} zigbee_role_t;

Zigbee.begin call in your sketch:
Zigbee.begin(ZIGBEE_ROUTER);

About the second part, the bridge (gateway) is a more complex stuff. For this I currently recommend to move using esp-zigbee-sdk directly. This is not currently on the roadmap, but it may be added in future.
