[ath] [ath_hal] (etc, etc) - begin the task of re-modularising the HAL.

In the deep past, when this code compiled as a binary module, ath_hal
built as a module. This allowed custom, smaller HAL modules to be built.
This was especially beneficial for small embedded platforms where you
didn't require /everything/ just to run.

However, sometime around the HAL opening fanfare, the HAL landed here
as one big driver+HAL thing, and a lot of the (dirty) infrastructure
(ie, #ifdef AH_SUPPORT_XXX) to build specific subsets of the HAL went away.
This was retained in sys/conf/files as "ath_hal_XXX" but it wasn't
really floated up to the modules themselves.

I'm now in a position where for the reaaaaaly embedded boards (both the
really old and the last couple generation of QCA MIPS boards) having a
cut down HAL module and driver loaded at runtime is /actually/ beneficial.

This reduces the kernel size down by quite a bit. The MIPS modules look
like this:

adrian@gertrude:~/work/freebsd/head-embedded/src % ls -l ../root/mips_ap/boot/kernel.CARAMBOLA2/ath*ko
-r-xr-xr-x 1 adrian adrian 5076 May 23 23:45 ../root/mips_ap/boot/kernel.CARAMBOLA2/ath_dfs.ko

-r-xr-xr-x 1 adrian adrian 23472 May 23 23:45 ../root/mips_ap/boot/kernel.CARAMBOLA2/ath_rate.ko

And the x86 versions, like this:

root@gertrude:/home/adrian # ls -l /boot/kernel/ath*ko
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 36632 May 24 18:32 /boot/kernel/ath_dfs.ko

-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 55352 May 24 18:32 /boot/kernel/ath_rate.ko

.. so you can see, not building the whole HAL can save quite a bit.
For example, if you don't need AR9300 support, you can actually avoid
wasting half a megabyte of RAM. On embedded routers this is quite a
big deal.

The AR9300 HAL can be later further shrunk because, hilariously,
it indeed supports AH_SUPPORT_<xxx> for optionally adding chipset support.
(I'll chase that down later as it's quite a big savings if you're only
building for a single embedded target.)

So:

* Create a very hackish way to load/unload HAL modules
* Create module metadata for each HAL subtype - ah_osdep_arXXXX.c
* Create module metadata for ath_rate and ath_dfs (bluetooth is
currently just built as part of it)
* .. yes, this means we could actually build multiple rate control
modules and pick one at load time, but I'd rather just glue this
into net80211's rate control code. Oh well, baby steps.
* Main driver is now "ath_main"
* Create an "if_ath" module that does what the ye olde one did -
load PCI glue, main driver, HAL and all child modules.
In this way, if you have "if_ath_load=YES" in /boot/modules.conf
it will load everything the old way and stuff should still work.
* For module autoloading purposes, I actually /did/ fix up
the name of the modules in if_ath_pci and if_ath_ahb.

If you want to selectively load things (eg on ye cheape ARM/MIPS platforms
where RAM is at a premium) you should:

* load ath_hal
* load the chip modules in question
* load ath_rate, ath_dfs
* load ath_main
* load if_ath_pci and/or if_ath_ahb depending upon your particular
bus bind type - this is where probe/attach is done.

TODO:

* AR5312 module and associated pieces - yes, we have the SoC side support
now so the wifi support would be good to "round things out";
* Just nuke AH_SUPPORT_AR5416 for now and always bloat the packet
structures; this'll simplify other things.
* Should add a simple refcnt thing to the HAL RF/chip modules so you
can't unload them whilst you're using them.
* Manpage updates, UPDATING if appropriate, etc.

[ath_hal] fixes for finer grain timestamping, some 11n macros

* change the HT_RC_2_MCS to do MCS0..23
* Use it when looking up the ht20/ht40 array for bits-per-symbol
* add a clk_to_psec (picoseconds) routine, so we can get sub-microsecond
accuracy for the math
* .. and make that + clk_to_usec public, so higher layer code that is
returning clocks (eg the ANI diag routines, some upcoming locationing
experiments) can be converted to microseconds.

Whilst here, add a comment in ar5416 so i or someone else can revisit the
latency values.

fix ht/40 configuration for ar9331 (hornet).

The synth programming here requires the real centre frequency,
which for HT20 channels is the normal channel, but HT40 is
/not/ the primary channel. Everything else was using 'freq',
which is the correct centre frequency, but the hornet config
was using 'ichan' to do the lookup which was also the primary
channel.

So, modify the HAL call that does the mapping to take a frequency
in MHz and return the channel number.

Tested:

* Carambola 2, AR9331, tested both HT/20 and HT/40 operation.

Move the HAL channel survey support out to be in the top-level HAL,
rathe than private in each HAL module.

Whilst here, modify ath_hal_private to always have the per-channel
noisefloor stats, rather than conditionally. This just makes
life easier in general (no strange ABI differences between different
HAL compile options.)

Add a couple of methods (clear/reset, add) rather than using
hand-rolled versions of things.
