net80211: change ieee80211_ratectl_rate() to not return a rix

There are only a few places where the returned rix is used:

* linuxkpi - logging
* bwi/bwn - used for finding a fallback rate to choose, which
honestly should be returned by the ratectl API
* iwm - building the rateset to program into firmware

Everyone else uses the dot11rate value in ni->ni_txnode.

This is a precursor for VHT and later rate support; where currently
there aren't rate tables in ieee80211_phy.c for VHT and later
rates.

Although it's likely doable to add tables for VHT, 11ax and MU-OFDMA
(HE) rates are sufficiently larger/different to just not fit in the
current scheme without more refactoring.

bwi: Mark write-only variable as __unused

We read TX_STATUS1 to acknowledge a TX interrupt. We don't use this
value for anything, so mark it as unused. We may be able to eliminate
this read, but since this hardware is poorly documented and difficult to
test, I'm leaving the read in place.

WiFi: fix ieee80211_media_change() callers

In r178354 with the introduction of multi-bss ("vap") support factoring
out started and with r193340 ieee80211_media_change() no longer returned
ENETRESET but only 0 or error.
As ieee80211(9) tells the ieee80211_media_change() function should not
be called directly but is registered with ieee80211_vap_attach() instead.

Some drivers have not been fully converted. After fixing the return
checking some of these functions were simply wrappers between
ieee80211_vap_attach() and ieee80211_media_change(), so remove the extra
function, where possible as well.

Widen EPOCH(9) usage in PCI WLAN drivers.

Make sure all occurrences of ieee80211_input_xxx() in sys/dev are
covered by a network epoch section. Do not depend on the interrupt
handler nor any taskqueues being in a network epoch section.

This patch should unbreak the PCI WLAN drivers after r357004.

Fix ieee80211_radiotap(9) usage in wireless drivers:

- Alignment issues:
* Add missing __packed attributes + padding across all drivers; in
most places there was an assumption that padding will be always
minimally suitable; in few places - e.g., in urtw(4) / rtwn(4) -
padding was just missing.
* Add __aligned(8) attribute for all Rx radiotap headers since they can
contain 64-bit TSF timestamp; it cannot appear in Tx radiotap headers, so
just drop the attribute here. Refresh ieee80211_radiotap(9) man page
accordingly.

- Since net80211 automatically updates channel frequency / flags in
ieee80211_radiotap_chan_change() drop duplicate setup for these fields
in drivers.

Tested with Netgear WG111 v3 (urtw(4)), STA mode.

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

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.

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.

Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.

similar to "if (ticks > localvar+interval) {localvar=ticks; ...}" where
localvar is initialized to zero. Ticks is initialized to a negative value

net80211 drivers: fix rate setup for EAPOL frames, obtain Tx parameters
directly from the node.

- Use ni_txparms directly instead of calculating them manually every time
- Move M_EAPOL flag check upper; otherwise it may be skipped due to
'ucastrate' / 'mcastrate' check
- Use 'mgtrate' for control frames too (see ifconfig(8), mgtrate parameter)
- Add few more M_EAPOL checks where it was missing (zyd(4), ural(4),
urtw(4))
- Few unrelated cleanups

Tested with:
- Intel 6205 (iwn(4)), STA mode;
- WUSB54GC (rum(4)), HOSTAP mode + RTL8188EU (rtwn(4)), STA mode.
