rtwn(4), urtwn(4): merge common code, add support for 11ac devices. All devices: - add support for rate adaptation via ieee80211_amrr(9); - use short preamble for transmitted frames when needed; - multi-bss support: * for RTL8821AU: 2 VAPs at the same time; * other: 1 any VAP + 1 sta VAP. RTL8188CE: - fix IQ calibration bug (reason of significant speed degradation); - add h/w crypto acceleration support. USB: - A-MPDU Tx support; - short GI support; Other: - add support for RTL8812AU / RTL8821AU chipsets (a/b/g/n only; no ac yet); - split merged code into subparts: * bus glue (usb/*, pci/*, rtl*/usb/*, rtl*/pci/*) * common (if_rtwn*) * chip-specific (rtl*/*) - various other bugfixes. Due to code reorganization, module names / requirements were changed too: urtwn urtwnfw -> rtwn rtwn_usb rtwnfw rtwn rtwnfw -> rtwn rtwn_pci rtwnfw Tested with RTL8188CE, RTL8188CUS, RTL8188EU and RTL8821AU.

Both RTL8188CE and RTL8188EE are highly integrated 802.11n adapters
that combines a MAC, a 1T1R capable baseband and an RF in a single chip.
They are operate in the 2GHz spectrum only.
