[PATCH v4 1/3] wireless-regdb: allow NO-INDOOR flag in db.txt

[Ping-Ke Shih]

From: Ping-Ke Shih <pkshih at realtek.com>

For certain regulations, frequency range is outdoor only, which flag should
be NO-INDOOR, but db2fw.py doesn't allow this flag.

As suggestion, only fill NO-INDOOR flag in db.txt, but ignore this rule
in parsing to binary.
