    kernel_wireless_regdb: Add class for embedding regulatory data into older kernel
    
    Linux kernels before v4.15, allowed to be compiled with static
    regulatory database if it was put under net/wireless/db.txt.
    
    Add kernel_wireless_regdb class which allows in such cases to embed the
    wireless regulatory database directly in the Linux kernel during build
    process.
    
    Usage:
    1. The class should be inherited by kernel recipe (e.g. in
       linux-yocto_%.bbappend).
    2. For Linux kernels up to v4.14, build kernel with CONFIG_EXPERT and
       CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB.
