External module request: nRF Wi-Fi (split off of hal_nordic)

[carlescufi]

Origin

nRF Wi-Fi is a cross-platform, RTOS-agnostic Wi-Fi framework for nRF Wi-Fi ICs.

The current repo is here:
https://github.com/nrfconnect/nrf_wifi

Note that this code is currently in hal_nordic

Purpose

The purpose of this request is to split up the nRF Wi-Fi source code from hal_nordic, for a couple of reasons:

1. The releases of nrfx (our HAL) and nrf_wifi are completely independent, and having them in the same repo brings issues when updating the SHA of it in the main manifest
2. While nrfx belongs to Zephyr as a built-in module, we think that nrf_wifi could be entirely optional
3. This aligns hal_nordic to what other vendors do, such as ST with hal_st and hal_stm32

Mode of integration

As a optional module, with the name nrf_wifi.

c4c2b58 is not adding this as optional module, it is in the default manifest.

Sorry, ca5bcc8 reverts that change, I will fix the commits, but overally that PR still adds it to the optional manifests.
