net80211: clean up / add more macros to check the frame types

* Add new macros to check the version+type and version+type+subtype of a frame.
* Use these for existing frame checks.
* Convert the flag checks in net80211 to use the macros, rather than direct
header poking.

Notably I'm callign out things like QOS any versus QOS data, the
kind of NULL frames, etc. Eg, in the TKIP code it's checking whether
a frame is ANY kind of QOS frame, not just QOS data.

These macros should hopefully make the header checks clearer and less
error prone. They're also useful in drivers that are doing their
own header parsing.

Locally:

* ath(4), AP, STA, AP+STA modes
* local ath10k/athp - AP, STA modes
* rtwn - STA mode

[net80211] Migrate HT/legacy protection mode and preamble calculation to per-VAP flags

The later firmware devices (including iwn!) support multiple configuration
contexts for a lot of things, leaving it up to the firmware to decide
which channel and vap is active. This allows for things like off-channel
p2p sta/ap operation and other weird things.

However, net80211 is still focused on a "net80211 drives all" when it comes to driving
the NIC, and as part of this history a lot of these options are global and not per-VAP.
This is fine when net80211 drives things and all VAPs share a single channel - these
parameters importantly really reflect the state of the channel! - but it will increasingly
be not fine when we start supporting more weird configurations and more recent NICs.
Yeah, recent like iwn/iwm.

Anyway - so, migrate all of the HT protection, legacy protection and preamble
stuff to be per-VAP. The global flags are still there; they're now calculated
in a deferred taskqueue that mirrors the old behaviour. Firmware based drivers
which have per-VAP configuration of these parameters can now just listen to the
per-VAP options.

What do I mean by per-channel? Well, the above configuration parameters really
are about interoperation with other devices on the same channel. Eg, HT protection
mode will flip to legacy/mixed if it hears ANY BSS that supports non-HT stations or
indicates it has non-HT stations associated. So, these flags really should be
per-channel rather than per-VAP, and then for things like "do i need short preamble
or long preamble?" turn into a "do I need it for this current operating channel".
Then any VAP using it can query the channel that it's on, reflecting the real
required state.

This patch does none of the above paragraph just yet.

I'm also cheating a bit - I'm currently not using separate taskqueues for
the beacon updates and the per-VAP configuration updates. I can always further
split it later if I need to but I didn't think it was SUPER important here.

So:

* Create vap taskqueue entries for ERP/protection, HT protection and short/long
preamble;
* Migrate the HT station count, short/long slot station count, etc - into per-VAP
variables rather than global;
* Fix a bug with my WME work from a while ago which made it per-VAP - do the WME
beacon update /after/ the WME update taskqueue runs, not before;
* Any time the HT protmode configuration changes or the ERP protection mode
config changes - schedule the task, which will call the driver without the
net80211 lock held and all correctly serialised;
* Use the global flags for beacon IEs and VAP flags for probe responses and
other IE situations.

The primary consumer of this is ath10k. iwn could use it when sending RXON,
but we don't support IBSS or AP modes on it yet, and I'm not yet sure whether
it's required in STA mode (ie whether the firmware parses beacons to change
protection mode or whether we need to.)

Tested:

* AR9280, STA/AP
* AR9380, DWDS STA+STA/AP
* ath10k work, STA/AP
* Intel 6235, STA
* Various rtwn / run NICs, DWDS STA and STA configurations

[net80211] Handle offloaded AMSDU in AMPDU reordering.

In the 11n world, most NICs did A-MPDU receive/transmit offloading but
not A-MSDU offloading. So, the net80211 A-MPDU receive path would just
receive MPDUs, do the reordering bit, pass it up to the rest of
net80211 for crypto decap and then do A-MSDU decap before throwing ethernet
frames up to the rest of the system.

However 11ac and 11ax NICs are increasingly doing A-MSDU offload (and
newer 11ax stuff does socket offload, but hey I don't want to scare people
JUST yet) - so although A-MPDU reordering may be done in the OS, A-MSDUs
look like a normal MPDU. This means that all the MSDUs are actually
faked into a set of MPDUs with matching 802.11 header - the sequence number,
QoS header and any encryption verification bits (like IV) are just copied.

This shows up as MASSIVE packet loss in net80211, cause after the first MPDU
we just toss the rest.

(And don't get me started about ethernet decap with A-MPDU host reordering;
we'll have to cross that bridge for later 11ac and 11ax bits too.)

Anyway, this work changes each A-MPDU reorder slot into an mbufq.
The mbufq is treated as a whole set of frames to pass up to the stack
and reordered/de-duped as a group. The last frame in the reorder list
is checked to see if it's an A-MSDU final frame so any duplicates are
correctly tossed rather than double-received. Other than that, the
rest of the logic is unchanged.

The previous commit did a small subset of this - if there wasn't any reordering
going on then it'd accept the A-MSDUs. This is the rest of the needed work.

This is a no-op for 11n NICs doing A-MPDU reordering but needing software
A-MSDU decap - they aren't tagged as A-MSDU and so any subsequent
frames added to the reorder slot are tossed.

Tested:

* QCA9880 (ath10k/athp) - STA/AP mode;
* RT3593 (if_rsu) - 11n STA+DWDS mode (I'm committing through it rn);
* QCA9380 (if_ath) - STA/AP mode.

[net80211] First part of A-MSDU offload handling - don't bump A-MPDU reordering seqno

When doing A-MSDU offload handling the driver is required to mark
A-MSDUs from the same MPDU with the same sequence number.
It then tags them as AMSDU (if it's a decap'ed A-MSDU) and AMSDU_MORE
(saying there's more AMSDUs decapped in the same MSDU.)
This allows encryption and sequence number offload to work right.

In the A-MSDU path the sequence number check looks at the A-MSDU flags
in the frame to see whether it's part of the same seqno and will pass them
(ie, not increment rx_seq until the last A-MSDU is seen from the driver,
or a new seqno shows up.0

However, I did this work in the A-MSDU path but not the A-MSDU in A-MPDU path.
For the non A-MDSU offload case the A-MPDU receive reordering will do its
thing and then pass up the MPDU up for decap - which then will see it's
an A-MSDU and decap each sub-frame. But this isn't done for offloaded
A-MSDU frames.

This requires two parts:

* Don't bump the RX sequence number, same as above; and
* If frames go into the reordering buffer, they need to be added into the slot
as a set of frames rather than a single frame, so once a new seqno shows up
this slot can be marked as "full" and we can move on.

This patch does the first. The latter requires that I find and commit
work to change rxa_m from an mbuf to an mbufq and the nhandle A-MSDU
there. But, the first is enough to allow the normal case (ie, no or not
a lot of A-MPDU RX reordering) to work.

This allows the athp driver (QCA9880) throughput to go from VERY low
(like 5mbit TCP, 1/3-1/4 expected UDP throughput) to ~ 250mbit TCP
and > 300mbit UDP on a VHT/40 channel. TCP sucks because, well, it
shows up as MASSIVE packet loss when all but one frame in a decap'ed
A-MSDU stream is dropped. Le whoops.

Now, where'd I put that laptop with the patch for rxa_m mbufq that
I wrote like in 2017...

Tested:

* AR9380, STA/AP mode (a big no-op, no A-MSDU hardware decap);
* if_run (RT3593), STA DWDS mode (A-MPDU / A-MSDU receive, but again
no A-MSDU hardware decap);
* QCA9880, STA/AP mode (which is doing hardware A-MPDU/A-MSDU decap,
but no A-MPDU reordering in the firmware.)

[net80211] Add initial A-MSDU in A-MPDU negotation support.

This is hopefully a big no-op unless you're running some extra
patches to flip on A-MSDU options in a driver.

802.11n supports sending A-MSDU in A-MPDU. That lets you do things
like pack small frames into an A-MSDU and stuff /those/ into an A-MPDU.
It allows for much more efficient airtime because you're not
wasting time sending small frames - which is still a problem when
doing A-MPDU as there's still per-frame overhead and minimum A-MPDU
density requirements.

It, however, is optional for 802.11n. A lot of stuff doesn't advertise
it (but does it, just wait!); and I know that ath10k does it and my
ath(4) driver work supports it.

Now, 802.11ac makes A-MSDU in A-MPDU something that can happen more
frequently, because even though you can send very large A-MPDUs
(like 1 megabyte and larger) you still have the small frame problem.
So, 802.11ac NICs like ath10k and iwm will support A-MSDU in A-MPDU
out of the box if it's enabled - and you can negotiate it.

So, let's lay down the ground work to enable A-MSDU in A-MPDU.
This will allow hardware like iwn(4) and ath(4) which supports
software A-MSDU but hardware A-MPDU to be more efficient.

Drivers that support A-MSDU in A-MPDU will set TX/RX htcap flags.
Note this is separate from the software A-MSDU encap path; /that/
dictates whether net80211 is doing A-MSDU encapsulation or not.
These HTC flags control negotiation, NOT encapsulation.

Once this negotiation and driver bits are done, hardware like
rtwn(4), run(4), and others will be able to use A-MSDU even without
A-MPDU working; right now FF and A-MSDU aren't even attempted
if you're an 11n node. It's a small hold-over from the initial
A-MPDU work and I know how to fix it, but to flip it on properly
I need to be able to negotiate or ignore A-MSDU in A-MPDU.

Oh and the fun part - some 11ac APs I've tested will quite happily
decap A-MSDU in A-MPDU even though they don't negotiate it when
doing 802.11n. So hey, I know it works - I just want to properly
handle things. :-)
