Instead of adding PCIDs detection or touching any existing logic; simply expose the optional set for user to select. Goal was to reduce maintain burden as this simply needs to track new optdepends

This is then strapped at _base_packages as an .extend() before the mkinitcpio -P call.
Since it's fully optional, to me it should not be gated behind --advanced, we initialize as empty [] and extend selections.

This would notably make some Marvell Wifi card users happy (i,e surface type devices) and QCOM being quite common nowadays. The others, I've had little experience with.
