man4:: wifi manuals: revise .Sh HARDWARE + polish some

The Release Hardware Notes are generated from hardware sections in the
manual pages. Create or organize these sections in Wi-Fi driver manuals
for information flow, and perform minor maintenance on them while here.

After some testing, we have determined that a compact column list is
the best for a single column listing in the hardware release notes.
This makes very clean subsections and is for some reason denser than
using a tagged list.

This adds the long requested conversion from netmask to cidr examples.
These examples probably shouldn't even be here, but that is a discussion
for another day.
