staging: rtl8188eu: remove rtl8188eu driver from staging dir 



This driver was deprecated with the introduction of the r8188eu driver,
based upon Realtek sources that were modified for CFG80211 support and
other fixes on GitHub by Larry Finger. As that driver is now progressing
at pace, we should remove this one.

TODO:

- find and remove remaining code valid only for 5 GHz. Most of the obvious

  ones have been removed, but things like channel > 14 still exist.

- find and remove any code for other chips that is left over

- convert any remaining unusual variable types

- find codes that can use %pM and %Nph formatting

- checkpatch.pl fixes - most of the remaining ones are lines too long. Many

  of them will require refactoring

- merge Realtek's bugfixes and new features into the driver

- switch to use LIB80211

- switch to use MAC80211



Please send any patches to Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>,

and Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net>.
