nl80211: add notes about userspace API/ABI modifications 



Add notes about userspace ABI/API modifications, including the
fact that we decided that API submissions should come with a
driver implementation.

/*

 * This header file defines the userspace API to the wireless stack. Please

 * be careful not to break things - i.e. don't move anything around or so

 * unless you can demonstrate that it breaks neither API nor ABI.

 *

 * Additions to the API should be accompanied by actual implementations in

 * an upstream driver, so that example implementations exist in case there

 * are ever concerns about the precise semantics of the API or changes are

 * needed, and to ensure that code for dead (no longer implemented) API

 * can actually be identified and removed.

 * Nonetheless, semantics should also be documented carefully in this file.
