Description: Firmware for Intel® PRO/Wireless 5000 A/G/N network adaptors

Changelog
- Add LICENSE.iwlwifi-5000-ucode README.iwlwifi-5000-ucode as %%doc

I think that previously, packaging License within /lib/firmware was required if
packages are installed with --excludedocs , so the License could still be installed.
But indeed, nothing "still" mention this from our packaging guideline.

Usually nodist package are aimed to be built in the older release (F-8) and then
inherited in lastest (Rawhide). Maybe there will be a problem if users expect
support from iwl5000 from F-8 as soon as the related firmware is in the F-8
repository (F-8 last kernel doesn't seems to have iwl5000.ko).

@Linville
Do you think that such support can be provided within the F-8 kernel ?

If not, I will built it since F-9
