Preemptively enable larger set of WiFi drivers for all platforms and add more firmwares for them with the aim to harmonize WiFi device support among all boards and to have implicit support of devices that users might want to use. Targets `generic_aarch64`, `generic_x86_64` and `ova` also include options and firmwares for cards that are using PCI/PCIe bus - support for these is in a separate config fragment. Especially the `generic_x86_64` is currently very tight with the rootfs space, so I had to do some triaging and select only sensible drivers and firmwares - especially archaic PCMCIA devices or devices not supporting only 802.11g or lower standards were among the first that I removed during the triaging - we can consider enabling those but this time on an someone's explicit need to have them enabled. This closes #2815 and replaces large part of #2761, also potentially addresses (at least) these: #2806, #2783, #2841, #2776, #2725, #2600 ------------- * Remove WiFi options from generic and board kernel config fragments * Enable MMC in OVA kernel This is needed for SDIO drivers to work. Use the same options as we currently use for generic_x86_64. * Add CRYPTO_MICHAEL_MIC to the common kernel config This is requirement for TKIP and is a dependency of ATH11K driver. * Add kernel config fragments with wireless cards support * Add firmwares for WiFi cards * Enable more Bluetooth device drivers

Describe the issue you are experiencing
I run HA OS as a VM on HP MicroServer and have to use a WiFi connection. MicroServer has no built in WiFi, so I looked here https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi/blob/main/home/USB_WiFi_Chipsets.md and seems today's' fastest option is a dongle based on Mediatek mt7921au chipset. So, I bought one and found that it's disabled in the HA OS flavor of Linux kernel.
Please treat this as a vote for enabling CONFIG_MT7921U (and most probably CONFIG_BT_HCIBTUSB_MTK for BT part) here #2761 :)
