Description

The microsocks package already exists: https://pkgs.staging.openwrt.org/package/master/packages/aarch64_cortex-a76/microsocks

But it only supports Socks v5. For v4a support the we need to use "muonsocks" that it's a fork: https://github.com/niklata/muonsocks

I don't recommend to "replace" the original microsocks package, but to "add" the new one. To compile the fork we can reuse the receipt for the original package.

Research direction

Read CONTRIBUTING.md, then locate the existing microsocks package receipt in the repository. Compare its build metadata with the muonsocks fork and add a separate package that provides the requested SOCKS v4a support without replacing microsocks. Done means the new package builds successfully through the OpenWrt package workflow.
