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.

man.4: Add .Sh HARDWARE for some wireless drivers for release notes

iwlwifi.4 and rtw88.4 did not show up in the hardware list in the
release notes for 13.4.
The doc/website/tools/hardware-notes-processor.rb script parses
the .Sh HARDWARE section to automagically create a note once the
manual page is listed in the website/archetypes/release/hardware.adoc
file.

While here update the other committed man pages not yet connected
to the build.

Revert "rtw88: split driver up into a core and pci part"

After some discussion, for now, simply revert the change to split
the driver up into if_rtw88_core.ko and if_rtw88_pci.ko as we do
not have an if_rtw88.ko anymore. We do have code trying to
auto-load modules, e.g. ifconfig, based on if_xxx.ko.

We could, based on Makefile magic or further code, generate a
if_rtw88.ko module with proper dependencies and keep this but for
simplicity stay with the one slightly larger module for now.
Should code appear to do this "properly" we can revisit this once
USB support has landed.

Slightly update the module Makefile to keep the separation of files
between core and pci bits visible and maintainable for the future.

This reverts commit 0f7b9777f8f39fbc230b3e1de2f844d9f839adea.

rtw88: split driver up into a core and pci part

Split the driver up into two modules (if_rtw88_pci.ko and rtw88_core.ko).
This is in preparation for the hopefully eventually upcoming USB support
using the same driver core.

Note: this changes the module name to load to if_rtw88_pci.ko instead of
if_rtw88.ko. If using devmatch(8) everything should stay the same as
the driver name (used for net.wlan.devices) stays rtw88. If using
kld_list in rc.conf or loader.conf you will need to adjust the name.
Update man page for this.
