wireless: fixup genregdb.awk for remove of antenna gain from wireless-regd
Since "wireless-regdb: remove antenna gain" was merged in the wireless-regdb tree, the awk script parser has been incompatible with the 'official' regulatory database. This fixes that up. Without this change the max EIRP is set to 0 making 802.11 devices useless. The fragile nature of the awk parser must be replaced, but ideas over how to do that in the most scalable way are being reviewed. In the meantime update the documentation for CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB so folks are aware of expectations for now.
