Update chipset support list for ath_hal.

Update ath_hal.4 to include the latest chipset support.

ath_hal needs a lot more work to encompass the list of supported
cards, as the AR5416/AR9160/AR9280/AR9285 list is quite long
and extensive. In addition, there's a lot of AR5212/AR5213 based
cards that aren't on this list.

Netgear renamed the WG311 to the WG311v1 after they released a second
version of it. There is also a WG311v3 which uses a chipset covered by
malo(4). Along the way add the WG311T to the list which is also an
atheros chipset.

update; mostly to eliminate ambiguity about what hardware is supported

Switch to ath hal source code. Note this removes the ath_hal
module; the ath module now brings in the hal support. Kernel
config files are almost backwards compatible; supplying

device ath_hal

gives you the same chip support that the binary hal did but you
must also include

options AH_SUPPORT_AR5416

to enable the extended format descriptors used by 11n parts.
It is now possible to control the chip support included in a
build by specifying exactly which chips are to be supported
in the config file; consult ath_hal(4) for information.

Fixed troff warnings.

Bump document date for last commit.

- Add a HARDWARE section which lists supported devices.
- Mark up each item in the device list with .It, as per mdoc(7) and to
make it simpler for auto generated Hardware Notes to parse the manual
page.

Tiny markup nits in an otherwise outstanding mdoc(7) work.

Netgear WG511T card is a CardBus not a PCI card.

update supported card table

Add NEC PA-WL/54AG.

CardBus instead of Cardbus. Add I/O Data WN-AG/CB and Prixim Skyline
4030 cards.

Special Thanks: shigeru yamamoto-san for the kind donation of I/O Data and
other wireless cards

correct device table a la ath(4)

WLAN related fixes:

- Add some wlan(4) related cross-references.
- Add some "device" lines to SYNOPSIS
- Correct grammar/sentencing in ath_hal(4) manual page
