wireless-regdb: Update regulatory rules for Hong Kong (HK) on 5GHz and 6GHz

[Morgan Wong]

Dear all,

Please keep the original value 24dbm instead of 23 in 6GHz.

I overlooked there was a small footnote at the bottom of document HKCA
1081. The government allows +1dmb on top of ETSI's 23dmb = 24dbm

> A TPC (30dbm), 802.11h edition should be taken instead of 27dbm as I suggest.

> Therefore, the smaller value should be taken.
> (6GHz in HK requires no reference to FCC standards, unlike 5GHz situation)
> WIFI 7 allows 320MHz, the previous value, 160MHz was in wifi 6E era.
