p54: enhance rssi->dBm database import

This patch fixes several shortcomings of the
previous implementation. Features of the
rewrite include:

 * handles undocumented "0x0000" word at the
   start of the frequency table.
   (Affected some early? DELL 1450 USB devices
    and my Symbol 5GHz miniPCI card.)

 * supports more than just one reference point
   per band. (Also needed for the Symbol card.)

 * ships with default values in case the eeprom
   data is damaged, absent or unsupported.
