rtw88/rtw89: remove local firmware.
Remove firmware from src/ in favor of the ports/packages and
fwget(8).
This will allow us to shrink the size of src (and installed modules).
Update the rtw88 man page to reflect the change.
How does this interfact with doing an install to a machine over one of these
interfaces?
That's nothing we support. At least we do not support netboot over wifi
currently, so you'll always need another install media.
How's the "bootstrapping" going to work if wireless is the only network
option?
To be clear, I was discussing the case you use a USB memstick, but fetch
the base system and packages over the network. Or at least you need to
install pkg over the network, but you need pkg to install the firmware
so you can bring up the network which you did address, though it seems
something we plan to fix in the future so won't be in 14.0?
