    wifi manuals: Mlink + document description consistency

    Interfaces all have an mlink to if_$foo. Add these for the missing ones
    and remove an incorrect one from rtwn_pci. Wireless network drivers are
    all accessible via `apropos -s4 "wireless network driver", except two
    which are "wireless network device". I actually prefer the latter, but
    make them all consistent upon the more common parlance. Tag SPDX on one
    of the files I touched, while here.

In fact that is probably correct but things are confusing.

The modules are called if_rtwn_usb.ko and if_rtwn_pci.ko and those
should have the man page and links (so contrary to what was done).
rtwn.ko is just the common code if I am not mistaken (Adrian should know
better).

But everyone is just referring to the driver as rtwn and I fear if there
is no man page to be found as man rtwn / man if_rtwn people will be
confused.

I wanted to do the same with rtw88 but was told to keep it all together
as one so rtwn is an excemption.

That all said, yes, it needs a further cleanup.
