Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Installing netbird on my router running OpenWRT takes up nearly every last bit of space for installing packages.

Describe the solution you'd like
I saw in #697 that the netbird client bundles a userspace implementation to use if the kernal is not an option, but for systems where we know ahead of time wireguard support is available in the kernel, it would be nice to have a smaller package to install. (And the added benefit that if the kernal mod isn't set up properly, it will just fail instead of silently perform worse)

Describe alternatives you've considered
There is a UPX-comoressed build available that shaves off about 30% of the size, but it's still a fairly heavy package, and my understanding is that UPX won't save me any RAM usage.

Additional context
I don't know if it's easy to just unbundle the userspace implementation with a switch at build time, or if it's a more complicated process.
