wext: default to y
The way I initially thought we could do wireless extensions is by making all the compat code in cfg80211 be independent of CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT, but this is turning out to not be feasible. Therefore, fix the Kconfig help text and make the option default to yes, so people won't get a nasty surprise when mac80211 will get rid of its 'select WIRELESS_EXT' any time now.

This option enables the legacy wireless extensions
(wireless network interface configuration via ioctls.)
- Wireless extensions will be replaced by cfg80211 and
- will be required only by legacy drivers that implement
- wireless extension handlers. This option does not
- affect the wireless-extension backward compatibility
- code in cfg80211.

- Say N (if you can) unless you know you need wireless
- extensions for external modules.
+ Say Y unless you've upgraded all your userspace to use
+ nl80211 instead of wireless extensions.
