cfg80211: reg: remove support for built-in regdb 

Parsing and building C structures from a regdb is no longer needed
since the "firmware" file (regulatory.db) can be linked into the
kernel image to achieve the same effect.

Statically compiled regulatory database
---------------------------------------
In most situations the userland solution using CRDA as described
above is the preferred solution. However in some cases a set of
rules built into the kernel itself may be desirable. To account
for this situation, a configuration option has been provided
(i.e. CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB). With this option enabled,
the wireless database information contained in net/wireless/db.txt is
used to generate a data structure encoded in net/wireless/regdb.c.
That option also enables code in net/wireless/reg.c which queries
the data in regdb.c as an alternative to using CRDA.
The file net/wireless/db.txt should be kept up-to-date with the db.txt
file available in the git repository here:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sforshee/wireless-regdb.git
Again, most users in most situations should be using the CRDA package
provided with their distribution, and in most other situations users
should be building and using CRDA on their own rather than using
this option. If you are not absolutely sure that you should be using
CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB then _DO_NOT_USE_IT_.
When a database should be fixed into the kernel, it can be provided as a
firmware file at build time that is then linked into the kernel.

---help---
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
to using CRDA for defining regulatory rules for the kernel.
Using this option requires some parsing of the db.txt at build time,
the parser will be upkept with the latest wireless-regdb updates but
older wireless-regdb formats will be ignored. The parser may later
be replaced to avoid issues with conflicts on versions of
wireless-regdb.
For details see:

# You should be using CRDA instead. It is even better if you use the CRDA

# If you _really_ intend to use CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB then you will
