Introduce boot loader. Instead of the operational firmware,
very small boot loader is burned to the on-board flash. Boot loader
initializes hardware upon reset, and prepares for low power mode.
Boot loader reports MAC address and detects radio chip connected.
Driver loads firmware only when bringing up interface. All information
required to set up network interface, most important is MAC address,
reported by the boot loader
The firmware composed of 2 files:
- wil6210.fw - firmware itself (compiled code + data)
- wil6210.board - board file (various board and radio dependent
calibrations and parameters)

There is no need to obtain physical device through
wil->pdev->dev path, as it is done by this macro.
The same device already stored as wiphy's device, thus
wil_to_dev() returns the same device as wil_to_pcie_dev()
Remove unnecessary macros, this allows to drop dependency
by pci.h in the firmware download code.

Firmware download implemented but is still experimental feature;
flag controlling it added, no_fw_load. It is true by default,
use no_fw_load=N to activate feature.
Reset flows also got some adjustment for the fw download to work
