rtl8812au

Realtek 8812AU driver version 5.6.4.2

Only supports 8812AU chipset.

Works fine with 5.6.rc5 kernel. Source now builds with no warnings or errors.

Added (cosmeticly edited) original Realtek_Changelog.txt, this README.md and dkms.conf.

Added device USB IDs, sorted by ID number. Added regdb files.

Removed LED control, which was added for driver version 5.2.20
