netlink: add interface notification on link status / flags change.

* Add link-state change notifications by subscribing to ifnet_link_event.
In the Linux netlink model, link state is reported in 2 places: first is
the IFLA_OPERSTATE, which stores state per RFC2863.
The second is an IFF_LOWER_UP interface flag. As many applications rely
on the latter, reserve 1 bit from if_flags, named as IFF_NETLINK_1.
This flag is mapped to IFF_LOWER_UP in the netlink headers. This is done
to avoid making applications think this flag is actually
supported / presented in non-netlink outputs.
* Add flag change notifications, by hooking into rt_ifmsg().
In the netlink model, notification should include the bitmask for the
change flags. Update rt_ifmsg() to include such bitmask.

Factor out ieee80211_probereq_ie() and ieee80211_probereq_ie_len()
and make the length dynamic rather than static max. The latter is
needed as our current fixed length was longer than some "hw scan",
e.g. that of ath10k, will take. This way we can pass what we have.
Should this not be sufficient in the future we might have to deal
with filtering and much more error handling.

This also removes a duplicate calculation for ieee80211_ie_wpa [1].

[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] Migrate short slot time configuration into per-vap and deferred taskqueue updates.

The 11b/11g ERP and slot time update handling are two things which weren't
migrated into the per-VAP state when Sam did the initial VAP work.
That makes sense for a lot of setups where net80211 is driving radio state
and the radio only cares about the shared state.

However, as noted by a now deleted comment, the ERP and slot time updates
aren't EXACTLY correct/accurate - they only take into account the most
RECENTLY created VAP, and the state updates when one creates/destroys
VAPs isn't exactly great.

So:

* track the short slot logic per VAP;
* whenever the slot time configuration changes, just push it into a deferred
task queue update so drivers don't have to serialise it themselves;
* if a driver registers a per-VAP slot time handler then it'll just get the
per VAP one;
* .. if a driver registers a global one then the legacy behaviour is maintained -
a single slot time is calculated and pushed out.

Note that the calculated slot time is better than the existing logic - if ANY
of the VAPs require long slot then it's disabled for all VAPs rather than
whatever the last configured VAP did.

Now, this isn't entirely complete - the rest of ERP tracking around short/long
slot capable station tracking needs to be converted into per-VAP, as well
as the preamble/barker flags. Luckily those also can be done in a similar
fashion - keep per-VAP counters/flags and unify them before doing the driver
update. I'll defer that work until later.

All the existing drivers can keep doing what they're doing with the global
slot time flags as that is maintained. One driver (iwi) used the per-VAP
flags instead of the ic flags, so now that driver will work properly.

This unblocks some ath10k porting work as the firmware takes the slot time
configuration per-VAP rather than globally, and some firmware handles
STA+AP and STA+STA (on same/different channels) configurations where
the firmware will switch slot time as appropriate.

Tested:

* AR9380, STA/AP mode
* AR9880 (ath10k), STA mode

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I

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.

* on the beacon generation side - force a beacon regeneration each time
quiet time is enabled/disabled. Without this, enabling/disabling quiet
time IE would cause the beacon contents to be corrupted since none of
the "move contents around" logic (like for CSA and TIM handling) is implemented.

This changes the size of ieee80211_node so it requires a kernel recompile,
but no userland recompile.

Tested:

* AR9380, STA mode, with upcoming driver changes.
