      mac80211: make rx radiotap header more flexible

code was added that tried to align the radiotap header
position in memory based on the radiotap header length.
Quite obviously, that is completely useless.

Instead of trying to do that, use unaligned accesses
to generate the radiotap header. To properly do that,
we also need to mark struct ieee80211_radiotap_header
packed, but that is fine since it's already packed
(and it should be marked packed anyway since its a
wire format).

Radiotap was updated to include a "bad PLCP" flag and standardise
the "bad FCS" flag in the "flags" rather than "RX flags" field,
this patch updates Linux to that standard.

No need to pad the header so no constant needed for that,
no need to carry any version number from netbsd nor CVS
IDs from them.

ieee80211_get_radiotap_len() tries to dereference radiotap length without
taking care that it is completely unaligned and get_unaligned()
is required.

IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_FCS is obsolete and should not be used.  It's no
longer defined.  Remove it from the comment too.

Document that all fields must be little endian.  Use annotated types
even in the comments.  Consistently use shorter type names (u8, s8).
Realign the comments.
