rtl8188eu: new package



[Thomas:
  - remove patches 0001 and 0002, they are not needed since when using
    the kernel-module infrastructure, we directly call the kernel
    build system and bypass the one provided by the external module
  - install the firmware directly in the Buildroot .mk file, which
    allows to also remove patch 0003.
  - remove RTL8188EU_DEPENDENCIES = linux, since this is already
    handled by the kernel-module infrastructure.]

	  A standalone driver for the RTL8188EU USB Wi-Fi adapter.
	  This is needed only for Linux kernels before 3.12.
	  Since 3.12, there is a (staging) driver in mainline, with a similar
	  codebase.

	  Make sure your target kernel has the CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT config
	  option enabled.

	  Note: this package needs a firmware loading mechanism to load the
	  binary blob for the chip to work.
