Break out the current 802.11 software scan methods into an indirect table.

In order for drivers to provide an alternate set of scan methods,
these have to finally use an indirection table and all of the calls
in ieee80211_scan.c need to use said table.

For all existing drivers - this is basically a glorified, KBI-breaking
functional no-op.

This is also not the final form - too much functionality is currently
hiding in ieee80211_scan_sw.c that should be in ieee80211_scan.c.
That'll be the target of some follow-up commits.

Note:

* You have to recompile your kernel/drivers after this - the net80211 KBI has
changed.
* I'm not yet planning on bumping any versioning - I have a few more things
to shuffle around.

Tested:

* urtwn(4) - STA mode
* Intel 7260 in local repo - overriding the methods and table at
attach time has the desired effect (ie, all the methods are called,
but nothing is ever performed.)

Prepare for supporting driver-overridden curchan when submitting scan
results.

Right now the scan infrastructure assumes the channel is under net80211
control, and that when receiving beacon frames for scanning, the
current channel is indeed what ic_curchan is set to.

But firmware NICs with firmware scan support need more than this -
they can do background scans whilst hiding the off-channel behaviour
from net80211. Ie, net80211 still thinks everything is associated
and on the main channel, but it's getting scan results from all the
background traffic.

However sta_add() pays attention to ic_curchan and discards scan
results that aren't on the right channel. CCK beacon frames can be
decoded from adjacent channels so the receive path and sta_add
discard these as appropriate. This is fine for software scanning
like for ath(4), but not for firmware NICs. So with those, the
whole concept of background firmware scanning won't work without
major hacks (eg, overriding ic_curchan before calling the beacon
input / scan add.)

As part of my scan overhaul, modify sta_add() and the scan_add()
APIs to take an explicit current channel. The normal RX path
will set it to ic_curchan so it's a no-op. However, drivers may
decide to (eventually!) override the scan method to set the
"right" current channel based on what the firmware reports the
scan state is.

So for example, iwn, rsu and other NICs will eventually do this:

* driver issues scan start firmware command;
* firmware sends a "scan start on channel X" notify;
* firmware sends a bunch of beacon RX's as part of
the scan results;
* .. and the driver will replace scan_add() curchan with channel X,
so scan results are correct.
* firmware sends a "scan start on channel Y" notify;
* firmware sends more beacons...
* .. the driver replaces scan_add() curchan with channel Y.

Note:

* Eventually, net80211 should eventually grow the idea of a per-packet
current channel. It's possible in various modes (eg WAVE, P2P, etc)
that individual frames can come in from different channels and that
is under firmware control rather than driver/net80211 control, so
we should support that.

Refactor and split out the net80211 software scan engine from the rest
of the scan API.

The eventual aim is to have 'ieee80211_scan.c' have the net80211 and
driver facing scan API to start, finish and continue doing scanning
while 'ieee80211_swscan.c' implements the software scanner that
runs the scan task, handles probe request/reply bits, configures
the VAP off-channel, changes channel and does the scanning bits.

For NICs that do no scanning at all, the existing code is needed.
ath(4) and most of the other NICs (dumb USB ones in particular)
do little to no scan offload - it's all done in software.

Some NICs may do single channel at a time scanning; I haven't really
checked them out in detail.

iwn(4), the upcoming 7260 driver stuff, the new Qualcomm Atheros
11ac chipsets and the Atheros mobile/USB full-offload chips all
have complete scan engines in firmware. We don't have to drive
any of it at all - the firmware just needs to be told what to scan,
when to scan, how long to scan. It'll take care of going off
channel, pausing TX/RX appropriately, sending sleep notification
to the AP, sending probe requests and handling probe responses.
It'll do passive/active scan itself. It's almost completely
transparent to the network stack - all we see are scan notifications
when it finishes scanning each channel and beacons/probe responses
when it does its thing. Once it's done we get a final notification
that the scan is complete, with some scan results in the message.
The iwn(4) NICs handle doing active scanning too as an option
and will handle waiting appropriately on 5GHz passive channels
before active scanning.

There's some more refactoring, tidying up and lock assertions to
sprinkle around to tidy this whole thing up before I turn swscan.c
into another set of ic methods to override by the driver or
alternate scan module. So in theory this is all one big no-op
commit. In theory.

Tested:

* iwn(4) 5200, STA mode
* ath(4) 6205, STA mode
* ath(4) - various NICs, AP mode
