This brings the patch set up to 2023-06-22 wireless-next
Drivers tested;
8822CS. 8821CU and 8723DS
Notables;
Not seeing random dmesg spam `rtw_8822cs failed to get tx report from firmware` which I would see on both the CS and CU from time to time.

Patch set includes a complete backport of RTW88 as it currently stands, along with extras
Extra:
Patch: RTL8723DS (SDIO)
Patch: _rtw_download_firmware() warn: missing unwind goto?
Hack: SDIO RX Aggregation Limiting
I only have two units available to me with an 8822CS module and in my testing this is only required on the BPI-CM4IO. With out LIMITING the unit will either kernel panic or not be able to send or receive.
This is currently being looked into:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-wireless/CAFBinCBaXtebixKbjkWKW_WXc5k=NdGNaGUjVE8NCPNxOhsb2g@mail.gmail.com/T/#u
It may be possible to just set LIMITING across all builds, but that to me seems like a poor choice. This requires testing.

# Brief detour. Turns out that HardKernel's vendor odroidxu4 kernel already has this driver
# "slipstreamed" into it, complete with a bunch of PDF files and other junk.
# See https://github.com/hardkernel/linux/tree/odroid-5.4.y/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8812au
# If we remove them here, the resulting patch will contain binary diffs which are unsupported by patch(1).
# So if building for the odroidxu4/current, we'll leave the original files in place, and just overwrite
# the possibly-updated source files (not PDFs and such). Thanks, HardKernel.

- even Rich'er patch output by colorizing certain strings green/yellow/red
- BASE_GIT_TAG now very sneakily also accepts a branch name
- IMPORTANT: this includes: BREAKING CHANGE: patches failing to apply now break the build. fixes#4958
- also break on legacy `process_patch_file()` failure, remove `EXIT_PATCHING_ERROR`
- all interactive commands now **don't build the artifact** anymore; just patches/.configs are produced and then build ends
- user is required to put the produced patches in the right place and build again, for full consistency
- split ATF and U-BOOT manual patching process; use CLI command `atf-patch` to patch ATF, and `uboot-patch` to patch u-boot
- non-interactive artifact builds are now 100% sans-stdin
- introduce `uboot-config` CLI command; still experimental, only produces a defconfig and not a patch
- reworked `userpatch_create()` to be (hopefully) more useful:
- detects a previous patch and offers to apply it before continuing
- enters a loop showing the diff, and only proceeds when user indicates he's happy with the patch
- produces `mbox`-formatted patches via `format-patch` and standard Armbian parameters
- uses MAINTAINER and MAINTAINERMAIL instead of git configuration (so it works in containers)
- don't allow image builds with any patching or configuring _at all_ (it has been deprecated with a warning for months already, and results are inconsistent)

* integrate with minor patches from rk322x/rockchip64 families
* update drivers_network.sh to apply patches in same order as before
* remove references from patches.megous and series.conf in sunxi64

* do not touch kernel archives older than 6.1
- artifacts: introduce `ARTIFACT_IGNORE_CACHE=yes`
- artifacts: introduce `DONT_BUILD_ARTIFACTS`, list of artifacts that if not found cached, fail the build
- kernel_package_source() is no more
- a long dissertation about kernels, families, and the universe
- artifacts: actually use rootfs artifact for image build
- artifacts: detangle via artifact_base_dir
- artifacts: rootfs: use folders in artifact_name; include cache_type
- artifacts: some cleanups / validations
- rootfs artifact; drop old rootfs cli
- artifacts: new CLI shortcuts; remove old firmware CLI
- artifacts: full firmware & usage
- use firmware artifacts in image build and install its debs
- kernel artifact sans legacy; use tmpdir for .deb target for all packages
- legacy artifact versions is no more; pack/unpack now in common obtain;
- artifacts: uboot: cleanup legacy renaming, use artifact version directly
- artifacts: add firmware (small) artifact
- deploy uboot to loop from artifact; allow tty to artifact; todos for cleaning
- fixes, kernel dtb/headers conditional; remove `.git` from Makefile url; use mapfile for finding files to hash
- completely remove KERNEL_HAS_WORKING_HEADERS_FULL_SOURCE and `kernel_package_callback_linux_headers_full_source()`
- don't use realpath for artifact_file_relative
- curb some warnings
- fix: only install headers & dtbs if such exist
- kernel .config hook modification hash versioning
- OCI_TARGET_BASE vs per-artifact defaults; only deploy to remote from CLI with OTB
- artifact revolver & installing into image
- add artifact_map_packages and artifact_map_debs dicts
- revolver accumulates all info
- REPOSITORY_INSTALL is no more (for uboot/kernel, later others)
- rename `VER` to `IMAGE_INSTALLED_KERNEL_VERSION`
