[oe] [meta-networking][PATC v3 1/2] kernel_wireless_regdb: Add class for embedding regulatory data into the kernel

Small embedded systems might:
1. Want to get rid of daemons as much as possible (therefore be built
   without CRDA),
2. Not receive user-space incremental updates but an entire system
   upgrade (with kernel).

Add class kernel_wireless_regdb which allows in such cases to embed the
wireless regulatory database directly in the Linux kernel during build
process.

Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Kozlowski <krzk at kernel.org>

Changes since v2:
1. Rebase on sumo.
2. Fix task order - run do_kernel_add_regdb task after do_configure.

Changes since v1:
1. Remove debugging echo.
