wifi: remove obsolete hostap driver
HostAP is an ISA/PCMCIA style 802.11b driver supporting only
wireless extensions, and some custom ioctls (already removed).
Some devices include a legacy PCI bridge but no DMA.
The driver was marked obsolete in 2016 and is highly unlikely
to still have any users.
