feat(kernel): enable x86 Intel Wi-Fi

[sirredbeard]

Enable the Intel iwlwifi driver stack for x86_64.

The x86_64 configuration already builds cfg80211 and mac80211. This enables Wireless LAN, the Intel vendor option, and the iwlwifi opmodes as modules. Other WLAN vendors stay off. Device tracing stays off.

arm64 already enables iwlwifi.

Pull request overview

Enables Intel iwlwifi modules for x86_64 and bumps the kernel release. However, rendering failed and removed the rendered kernel build inputs.

Changes:

• Enables the Intel Wi-Fi driver stack in the x86_64 kernel config.
• Bumps the kernel release to 1.12 and refreshes its lock.
• Replaces rendered output with a RENDER_FAILED marker.

• The enabled opmodes cannot initialize hardware without their firmware, but the firmware is split into iwlwifi-dvm-firmware, iwlwifi-mvm-firmware, and iwlwifi-mld-firmware, while the linux-firmware meta package omits all three from its Recommends (specs/l/linux-firmware/linux-firmware.spec:27-41,110-139). The kernel only recommends that meta package (kernel.spec:1211-1212), and no image/package list installs the iwlwifi firmware, so a normal x86 installation gets drivers that fail firmware loading. Add the matching firmware packages to the kernel or image dependencies as part of enabling Wi-Fi.

• CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEVICE_TRACING is not required for the driver or its opmodes, and the option's Kconfig help explicitly notes runtime overhead even while tracing is idle. Both non-debug x86 reference configs keep it disabled (kernel-x86_64-rhel.config:3217 and kernel-x86_64-fedora.config:3589), which also matches the adjacent debug/debugfs choices here. Please leave device tracing disabled and re-render the generated config unless this extra cost on every x86 kernel is intentional.

CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEVICE_TRACING=y

Firmware stays in the existing split iwlwifi firmware packages. This PR only enables the modules, same split arm64 already uses. Happy to add Requires if maintainers want that here.
