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: adjust more VHT structures/fields

Replace ieee80211_ie_vhtcap with ieee80211_vht_cap and
ieee80211_ie_vht_operation with ieee80211_vht_operation.
The "ie" version has the two bytes type/length at the beginning which
we did not actually use as such (the one place doing did just as unused
extra work).

Using the non-"ie" versions allows us to re-use them on shared code.
Using an enum helps us to not accidentally get unsuppored or unhandled
values tough we cannot use it in the struct as we need to ensure the
field width.

ieee80211_vht_operation is guarded by _KERNEL/WANT_NET80211. While the
header is supposed to be exported to user land historically, software
such as wpa bring their own structure definitions. For in-tree usage
it is only ifconfig which really cares (at least for now).

For HW scans we usually do not want to add a SSID to the IEs.
During that split we allocate memory based on the length which will
always include the length of the SSID and only later we reduced the
length but never updated the value passed back to the caller.
Split the SSID handling up and reduce the length before malloc().
This not only makes us not over-allocate in these situatoins but also
fixes the length returned to the caller and with that usually directly
passed to firmware.

[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] Add initial U-APSD negotiation support.

U-APSD (unscheduled automatic power save delivery) is a power save method
that's a bit better than legacy PS-POLL - stations can mark frames with
an extra flag that tells the AP to leak out more frames after it sends
its own frames rather than needing to send a PS-POLL to get another frame
from the AP.

Now, this code just handles the negotiation bits; it doesn't actually
implement U-APSD. That's up to drivers, and nothing in the tree yet
implements this. I /may/ implement this for ath(4) if I eventually care
enough but right now I plan on just implementing it for firmware offload
based NICs that handle this in the NIC.

I'll commit the ifconfig bit after this and I may have some follow-up
commits as this gets used more by me in local testing.

This should be a glorious no-op for everyone else. If things change
for anyone that isn't fixed by a complete recompile then please reach out
