mac80211: rewrite Kconfig text for mesh

Browse Source 
Lubomir Rintel recently pointed out a dead link for o11s.org, and
repointed it to a still live, but also stale website.  As far as I
know, no one is updating the content at open80211s.org.

Since this Kconfig text was originally written, though, the 802.11s
mesh drafts were approved and ultimately rolled into 802.11 proper.
Meanwhile, the implementation has converged on the final standard,
so we can lose all of the text here and provide something that's a
little more helpful and accurate.

This options enables support of Draft 802.11s mesh networking.
The implementation is based on Draft 2.08 of the Mesh Networking
amendment. However, no compliance with that draft is claimed or even
possible, as drafts leave a number of identifiers to be defined after
ratification. For more information visit http://o11s.org/.
Select this option to enable 802.11 mesh operation in mac80211
drivers that support it. 802.11 mesh connects multiple stations
over (possibly multi-hop) wireless links to form a single logical
LAN.
