Title: add support for realtek rtl8188cus usb wifi dongle

rationale: native linux rtl8192cu driver doesn't seem to work with rtl8188cus

especially, tested with:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 7392:7811 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd EW-7811Un 802.11n Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8188CUS]

it works with the driver that is provided by realtek, which is what this patch implements

issues:
- the .tar.gz containing the driver (from the .zip file that realtek provides) should probably be hosted @ openelec.tv
- the makefile is not perfect, it only supports arm
- changes to TARGET_LDFLAGS, LD_OPTIM I couldn't build the image w/ the driver
- we should probably remove USB IDs from rtl8192cu for devices that should be handled by 8192cu; simply blacklisting the module seems insufficient
