mac80211: update injection documentation 

We don't currently support antenna or rate setting, so remove
that. Also update the link -- the current one is dead and the
wiki can be kept updated easier.

Despite many radiotap parameters being currently defined, most only make sense

radiotap headers and used to control injection:
* IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_RATE
rate in 500kbps units, automatic if invalid or not present
* IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_ANTENNA

* IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_FLAGS
IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_F_FCS: FCS will be removed and recalculated
IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_F_WEP: frame will be encrypted if key available

The injection code can also skip all other currently defined radiotap fields
facilitating replay of captured radiotap headers directly.
