Reset the channel to the first available channel if the interface

Browse Source 
is configured on a channel that isn't valid in the new operating mode.

This isn't strictly true - it should find the first channel that is
available for the given operating mode.

However, I think defaulting to the first channel is fine - it's typically
available for all modes.

If someone would like to correctly implement this feature - try to
find a channel that is valid for the given operating mode and error
out if we can't find one.

This prevents various NICs (eg wpi(4)) from throwing a firmware error.

Tested:

* ath(4), STA/AP mode
* iwn(4), STA/adhoc mode
