We add -Wno-error to not error out on warnings, which would otherwise
cause build failures.

[Thomas: as suggested by Baruch, use -Wno-error instead of disabling
specific warnings.]

Switching to the rtl8821au fork at github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux.
- The current fork we are using is maintained by 1 person.
- The current fork does not work, and there are no plans to fix this:
- https://github.com/ulli-kroll/rtl8821au/issues/5
- https://github.com/ulli-kroll/rtl8821au/issues/6
- In practice, the current fork has numerous instability issues.
- Our lab switched to the abperiasamy fork a couple months ago and have been very happy with it.
- The contributor list for the abperiasamy fork contains 21 well-known individuals in the community.
- The raspberry pi community recommends the abperiasamy fork and uses it extensively.
- Firmware blobs are not necessary with the new fork.

Due to a recent update in the code, CONFIG_RTL8821AU=m is the expected
kernel configuration environment variable to be set, not
CONFIG_RTL8812AU_8821AU=m as was previously set.
Presently the package does effectively nothing.

A hash file is also added, as it was missing before.

This patch updates rtl8821au to include an upstream commit which
disables debug output, unless a runtime insmod parameter debug=level
is passed when loading the module. This makes the old buildroot patch
to remove hardcoded debug defines unnecessary: as such, it has been
removed.

This patch adds the rtl8821au wifi driver. The driver is sourced from
ulli-kroll's work on GitHub, which includes various fixes and better LED
handling. Currently USB3 support is broken in this driver - it will
only connect to the EHCI controller in a USB3 port.
