rtl8811au support

Attempt to add rtl8811au support.

Still no luck, waiting for hardware.

The missing parts were taken from https://github.com/svpcom/rtl8812au/tree/v5.2.20-rssi-fix-but-sometimes-crash

Thanks for porting this — adding the 8821a HAL tree is exactly the missing piece for actual RTL8821AU dongles. Two coordination notes plus one logistics ask.

Scope / dispatch. The PID allow-list in RtlUsbAdapter::InitDvObj currently lumps real RTL8811AU PIDs (0bda:0811, 0bda:a811) into RtlChipType::RTL8821. Those are Jaguar silicon (CHIP_8812 with RFType=1T1R), not Jaguar2 — sending them through the 8821 HAL with the 8821 firmware blob shouldn't work. Suggest narrowing the table to genuinely-8821 SKUs (e.g. 2357:0120, 0bda:0820/0821/0823, the 8821-combo OEM IDs) and letting the existing 8812 path handle 8811AU. Even better long-term would be a SYS_CFG-based family check (IC-ID bits) so new SKU revs don't need a code patch — that's what upstream rtl8812au does.

Conflict with #21. I have a small PR open (#21) that touches the same lines in EepromManager::read_chip_version_8812a — it derives RFType from REG_SYS_CFG bit 27 (RF_TYPE_ID) so the already-present 1T1R BB/RF paths reach actual 8811AU dongles. Whichever lands first will force the other to rebase. Happy to coordinate — I think the two compose cleanly once #22's dispatch is narrowed:

• rtl8811au support #22's family detect chooses CHIP_8821 vs CHIP_8812 HAL tree
• inside CHIP_8812, Add RTL8811AU support via RF_TYPE_ID autodetect #21's SYS_CFG read picks 1T1R vs 2T2R

Hardware / logistics. The reporter on #20 (BadPotato1007) has a TP-Link Archer T2U Plus (2357:0120) — that's already in your allow-list — and is up for testing #22, which would close the loop. Also: we'd like to keep one in the OpenIPC lab for regressions. Where did you source / where are you planning to source your test dongle from? Happy to order from the same place so we're testing against an identical SKU rev.

I hope correct chipset arrive. You may wait a few days untill I check.

Putting this on hold — RTL8811AU support landed via #23 (squash-merged f05b743), so master now carries the 8811 code path. We'd like to keep this PR around as a second-source data point but are postponing review/merge until we have RTL8811AU hardware in hand to verify against before integrating any deltas. Thanks for the contribution.
