Build on Ubuntu

Newer versions of Ubuntu only supply libnl-3-dev, could you update to support that?

As a workaround I grabbed the debs of libnl1 and libnl-dev for old versions of Ubuntu from its repos and successfully built hostapd-rtl. But that is a workaround and it would be better to work closer to out of the box.

One just have to chage the file "control" in the "debian" folder and change libnl-dev to libnl-3-dev. This is the solution I used...

@shadowofdarkness the dependency from libnl-3 was removed to make this code compatiple with the then-current Bananian that had the older version of the library. As noted by @oangelo simply adding the correct build dependency should fix it. I'll need to check if Debian Stable also includes libnl-3 so that we can re-add the dependencies and maybe even rebase to a newer version of hostapd.

I would suggest to put a comment about this on the README.md, for ubuntu user, that he should install libnl-3-dev and not libnl-dev.
