mac80211: make alignment warning optional

Driver authors should be aware of the alignment requirements, but
not everybody cares about the warning. This patch makes it depend
on a new Kconfig symbol MAC80211_DEBUG_PACKET_ALIGNMENT which can
be enabled regardless of MAC80211_DEBUG and is recommended for
driver authors (only). This also restricts the warning to data
packets so other packets need not be realigned to not trigger the
warning.

mac80211: better rate control algorithm selection

This patch changes mac80211's Kconfig/Makefile to:
* select between the PID and the SIMPLE rate control
algorithm as default
* always allow tri-state for the rate control algorithms,
building those that are selected 'y' into the mac80211
module (if that is a module, otherwise all into the kernel)
* force the default rate control algorithm to be built into
mac80211

It also makes both rate control algorithms proper modules again
with MODULE_LICENSE etc.

Only if EMBEDDED is the user allowed to select "NONE" as default
which will cause no algorithm to be selected, this will work
only when the driver brings one itself (e.g. iwlwifi drivers).

mac80211: make PID rate control algorithm the default

This makes the new PID TX rate control algorithm the default instead of the
rc80211_simple rate control algorithm. The simple algorithm was flawed in
several ways: it wasn't responsive at all and didn't age the information it was
relying on properly. The PID algorithm allows us to tune characteristics such
as responsiveness by adjusting parameters and was found to generally behave
better.

The default algorithm can be overridden to select simple instead. Which
ever algorithm is the default is included as part of the mac80211
module automatically. The other algorithm (simple vs. pid) can
be selected for inclusion as well. If EMBEDDED is selected then
the choice is available to have no default specified and neither
algorithm included in mac80211. The default algorithm can be set
through a modparam.

While at it, mark rc80211-simple as deprecated, and schedule it
for removal.

mac80211: make simple rate control algorithm built-in

Too frequently people do not have module autoloading enabled
or fail to install the rate control module correctly, hence
their hardware probing fails due to no rate control algorithm
being available. This makes the 'simple' algorithm built into
the mac80211 module unless EMBEDDED is enabled in which case
it can be disabled (eg. if the wanted driver requires another
rate control algorithm.)
