rG4262dbc57982: wifi manuals: Mlink + document description consistency

Summary

Interfaces all have an mlink to if_$foo. Add these for the missing ones
and remove an incorrect one from rtwn_pci. Wireless network drivers are
all accessible via `apropos -s4 "wireless network driver", except two
which are "wireless network device". I actually prefer the latter, but
make them all consistent upon the more common parlance. Tag SPDX on one
of the files I touched, while here.

Do we update .Dd for these changes as well?

share/man/man4/uath.4
1–3	First line gets a - `.\"-` I believe while you are one it. See man 9 style.

Normally a document description change does bump the Nd, but I didn't because it was just a few letters to make it more consistent. This might be wrong though.

The - in the first line was something Warner did for a project that he abandoned, so lately we haven't been using them. I have some revisions open to fix the recommendations, but then need a few more OKs to merge:

https://reviews.freebsd.org/D48345 (license article)
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D49051 (style.9)

And I believe there's something in the handbook I have to find and update as well.

.Dd in the past was bumped so that people translating man pages would know there is a newer version. I have no clue how much of that still is a thing?
