Motivation for this change

Update rtl8812au to latest version.

I noticed the previous version did not build with 4.15 kernels. The Grawp/rtl8812au_rtl8821au repo is no longer being maintained, so I've switched to the repo found from AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl8812au-dkms-git/

Realtek's changelog: (which is where I got the more precise version string)
https://github.com/zebulon2/rtl8812au-driver-5.2.20/blob/master/Realtek_Changelog.txt
Note also that this latest version includes a fix for KRACK attacks.

I've tested this with my own TP-LINK AC1200 USB wifi adapter on 4.15 and it seems to be working fine. nox-review also ensures this builds against all the other kernel versions currently in nixpkgs.
