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).

+ This option generates an internal data structure representing
+ the wireless regulatory rules described in net/wireless/db.txt
+ and includes code to query that database. This is an alternative

+ Most distributions have a CRDA package. So if unsure, say N.
