docs: networking: convert mac80211-injection.txt to ReST

- add SPDX header;
- adjust title markup;
- mark code blocks and literals as such;
- mark tables as such;
- adjust identation, whitespaces and blank lines;
- add to networking/index.rst.

How to use packet injection with mac80211
=========================================
mac80211 now allows arbitrary packets to be injected down any Monitor Mode
interface from userland. The packet you inject needs to be composed in the
following format:

The injection code can also skip all other currently defined radiotap fields
facilitating replay of captured radiotap headers directly.
