a4a6a6b6ee examples: drop rtl drivers from the mac address change blacklist
Just in case anyone uses this file as-is; I believe that these drivers
don't need to be in a blacklist. There's a good chance they either work
or we can detect failure to change a MAC address on runtime and act
accordingly.

Blacklisting the driver gives the driver maintainers no chance to fix
the behavior and we are not able to log a warning on failure.

ce7a631ae6 examples: don't set "ethernet.cloned-mac-address" in "10-no-wifi-scan-rand-mac-address.conf"
These are workarounds for Wi-Fi drivers. Don't set the unrelated
"ethernet.cloned-mac-address" property.

78d9bd62ff examples: blacklist drivers "wl" and "8188eu" in "31-mac-addr-change.conf" for "wifi.scan-rand-mac-address"
These drivers work bad with changing the MAC address.

See [1], [2], [3] for reports about failures with "wl" driver.

[3] also blacklists driver "8188eu". While we already blacklist "r8188eu",
it seems that some installations use the alternative name "8188eu" [4].

"wpasupplicant" package on Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic) provides the file
"/usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/no-mac-addr-change.conf", which
blacklists the same drivers. See also bug [3] which added the file.

b869d9cc0d device: add spec "driver:" to match devices
Changing the MAC address of devices is known to fail with
certain drivers. Add a device-spec to allow disabling it
for for such devices.
