In ieee80211_vht_adjust_channel() we have to check for all possible
IEEE80211_FVHT_VHT* options using the mask rather than just checking
for IEEE80211_FVHT_VHT; ieee80211_vhtchanflags() (contrary to its
HT counterpart) only returns the "highest" flag nor or-ing them together
with the base flag. For the moment this seems to make sense as with
more width options we'd add a pyramid.
Later on, in the same function when we get VHT160 actually go and look
for VHT160 and not VHT80.

Implement two macros IEEE80211_VHTCAP_SUPP_CHAN_WIDTH_IS_160MHZ()
and its 80+80 counter part to check in vhtcaps for appropriate
levels of support and use the macros throughout the code.
Add vht160_chan_ranges/is_vht160_valid_freq and handle analogue
to vht80 in various parts of the code.
Add ieee80211_add_channel_cbw() which also takes the CBW flag
fields and make the former ieee80211_add_channel() a wrapper to it.
With the CBW flags we can add HT/VHT channels passing them to
getflags() for the 2/5ghz functions.
In ifconfig(8) add the regdomain_addchans() support for VHT160
and VHT80P80.
With this (+ regdoain.xml updates) VHT160 channels can be
configured, listed, and pass regdomain where appropriate.

We have (two versions) of MS() and SM() macros which we use throughout
the wireless code. Change all but three places (ath_hal, rtwn, and rsu)
to the newly provided _IEEE80211_MASKSHIFT() and _IEEE80211_SHIFTMASK()
macros. Also change one internal case using both _S and _M instead of
just _S away from _M (one of the reasons rtwn and rsu were not changed).
This was done semi-mechanically. No functional changes intended.

For the <VHT-MCS, NSS> tuple, NSS is 1..8 (or in our loop case 0..7
but not 0..6). Correct the boundry to check for < 8 and not < 7.

In ieee80211_vht_get_chwidth_ie() we need to return 80P80 (3) before
VHT160 (2) as otherwise we'll never use 80P80. Fix the order.

For flags and checks the order goes VHT160 and then VHT80P80 unless
checks are in reverse order ("more comes first") in which case we
deal with VHT80P80 first.
The one reverse order to pick out is where we check channel
prefernences. While it may seem that VHT160 is better, finding
two "free" channels (VHT 80+80) is more likely so we do prefer that.
While dealing with VHT160 and VHT80P80 add extra clauses previously
missing or marked TODO in a few places.

The standard uses 80+80 and 80p80 but nowhere 80_80.
Switch the latter to 80P80 for all the macros and comments refering
to #defined flags which I could find.
The only place we leave as 80p80 is the ifconfig command line arguments
as we spell them all in lower case.
Ideally we would use 80+80 for any interactions with the user and
80P80 for anything internal but let us not confuse parsers and
hence avoid the '+' in either case.

Rather then using magic numbers duplicate IEEE80211_FVHT_VHT* in
ifconfig (cleanup of these and other flags used and not exposed by
net80211 should happen later) and use those.
In the kernel this simplifies one ioctl path (the other one currently
relies on individual bit flags being passed in).
We also re-order the 80P80 and 160 flag for 160 to come before 80+80
and more clearly leave the flags as TODO in one of the 160/80+80 cases.

This is needed for two reasons:
* Drivers will need to know what the negotiated set of VHT capabilities
and rates are in order to configure (and reconfigure for opmode/chanwidth
changes) how to speak to a given peer; and
* Because some vendors are "special", we should be careful in what we announce
to them during peer association.
This isn't the complete solution, as I still need to make sure that when
sending out probe requests before we know what we want, we don't limit
the capabilities being announced. This is important for IBSS/mesh work
later on as probe request/response exchanges are the first hint at what
a peer supports. I'll look at adding that to the API soon.
This is a skeleton set based on ieee80211_ht.c. It implements some IE
parsing, some basic unfinished negotiation, and channel promotion/demotion.
However, by itself it's not enough to do VHT - notably, the actual
channel promotion for STA mode at least is done in ieee80211_ht.c as
part of htinfo_update_chw(). I was .. quite amused when I found that
out.
I'm checking this in so others can see progress rather than one huge
commit when VHT is "done" (which will likely be quite a while.)
