patch to add path to oui.txt from sys-apps/hwids

net-misc/ieee-oui is going away as per bug 465606 , so aircrack-ng should depend on sys-apps/hwids and read oui.txt from /usr/share/misc/ instead of (or in addition to) /var/lib/misc.

I believe that only the live ebuild is currently affected by this, but since all aircrack-ng versions in the tree seem to use oui.txt they should probably all be updated.

I have attached a potential patch to do this, although I can't tell if it's working as expected; there is a fair number of places and ways OUI info seems to be used in the codebase and I'm not sure this covers them all.

I removed the ieee-oui path as we are planning on removing it.  I'm still not convinced I like the way hwids handles this at all but that discussion will be on bug #465606
