fedora: wifi: Cleanups of the final WEXT based drivers

pbrobinson requested to merge pbrobinson/kernel-ark:fedora-minor-wifi-cleanup into os-build

We retired the userspace wireless extensions, and in theory the kernel interfaces, in Fedora 36 but there was one driver that people actively used (the r8188eu in staging) but the rtl8xxxu driver now has support for all those devices and in 6.3 that staging driver was removed from upstream. We can now properly remove WEXT in the Fedora kernel. This is some minor cleanups and in reality we only lose the ancient 802.11b hermes drivers which are unlikely to be used by Fedora users now PowerMac and 32 bit x86 is long gone.
