sys/dev: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

Replay r286410. Change KPI of how device drivers that provide wireless
connectivity interact with the net80211 stack.

Historical background: originally wireless devices created an interface,
just like Ethernet devices do. Name of an interface matched the name of
the driver that created. Later, wlan(4) layer was introduced, and the
wlanX interfaces become the actual interface, leaving original ones as
"a parent interface" of wlanX. Kernelwise, the KPI between net80211 layer
and a driver became a mix of methods that pass a pointer to struct ifnet
as identifier and methods that pass pointer to struct ieee80211com. From
user point of view, the parent interface just hangs on in the ifconfig
list, and user can't do anything useful with it.

Now, the struct ifnet goes away. The struct ieee80211com is the only
KPI between a device driver and net80211. Details:

- The struct ieee80211com is embedded into drivers softc.
- Packets are sent via new ic_transmit method, which is very much like
the previous if_transmit.
- Bringing parent up/down is done via new ic_parent method, which notifies
driver about any changes: number of wlan(4) interfaces, number of them
in promisc or allmulti state.
- Device specific ioctls (if any) are received on new ic_ioctl method.
- Packets/errors accounting are done by the stack. In certain cases, when
driver experiences errors and can not attribute them to any specific
interface, driver updates ic_oerrors or ic_ierrors counters.

Details on interface configuration with new world order:
- A sequence of commands needed to bring up wireless DOESN"T change.
- /etc/rc.conf parameters DON'T change.
- List of devices that can be used to create wlan(4) interfaces is
now provided by net.wlan.devices sysctl.

Most drivers in this change were converted by me, except of wpi(4),
that was done by Andriy Voskoboinyk. Big thanks to Kevin Lo for testing
changes to at least 8 drivers. Thanks to pluknet@, Oliver Hartmann,
Olivier Cochard, gjb@, mmoll@, op@ and lev@, who also participated in
testing.

Still, drivers: ndis, wtap, mwl, ipw, bwn, wi, upgt, uath were not
tested. Changes to mwl, ipw, bwn, wi, upgt are trivial and chances
of problems are low. The wtap wasn't compilable even before this change.
But the ndis driver is complex, and it is likely to be broken with this
commit. Help with testing and debugging it is appreciated.

Bring over some initial power save management support, reset path
fixes and beacon programming / debugging into the ath(4) driver.

The basic power save tracking:

* Add some new code to track the current desired powersave state; and
* Add some reference count tracking so we know when the NIC is awake; then
* Add code in all the points where we're about to touch the hardware and
push it to force-wake.

Then, how things are moved into power save:

* Only move into network-sleep during a RUN->SLEEP transition;
* Force wake the hardware up everywhere that we're about to touch
the hardware.

The net80211 stack takes care of doing RUN<->SLEEP<->(other) state
transitions so we don't have to do it in the driver.

Next, when to wake things up:

* In short - everywhere we touch the hardware.
* The hardware will take care of staying awake if things are queued
in the transmit queue(s); it'll then transit down to sleep if
there's nothing left. This way we don't have to track the
software / hardware transmit queue(s) and keep the hardware
awake for those.

Then, some transmit path fixes that aren't related but useful:

* Force EAPOL frames to go out at the lowest rate. This improves
reliability during the encryption handshake after 802.11
negotiation.

Next, some reset path fixes!

* Fix the overlap between reset and transmit pause so we don't
transmit frames during a reset.
* Some noisy environments will end up taking a lot longer to reset
than normal, so extend the reset period and drop the raise the
reset interval to be more realistic and give the hardware some
time to finish calibration.
* Skip calibration during the reset path. Tsk!

Then, beacon fixes in station mode!

* Add a _lot_ more debugging in the station beacon reset path.
This is all quite fluid right now.
* Modify the STA beacon programming code to try and take
the TU gap between desired TSF and the target TU into
account. (Lifted from QCA.)

Tested:

* AR5210
* AR5211
* AR5212
* AR5413
* AR5416
* AR9280
* AR9285

TODO:

* More AP, IBSS, mesh, TDMA testing
* Thorough AR9380 and later testing!
* AR9160 and AR9287 testing

Obtained from: QCA
