wireless: support internal statically compiled regulatory database
This patch provides infrastructure for machine translation of the regulatory rules database used by CRDA into a C data structure. It includes code for searching that database as an alternative to dynamic regulatory rules updates via CRDA. Most people should use CRDA instead of this infrastructure, but it provides a better alternative than the WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY infrastructure (which can now be removed). Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

+# You should be using CRDA instead. It is even better if you use the CRDA

+# If you _really_ intend to use CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB then you will
+# need to replace this file with one containing appropriately formatted
+# regulatory rules that cover the regulatory domains you will be using. Your
+# best option is to extract the db.txt file from the wireless-regdb git
