In order to allow for radar pattern matching to occur, the DFS CAC/NOL
handling needs to be made configurable. This commit introduces a new
sysctl, "net.wlan.dfs_debug", which controls which DFS debug mode
net80211 is in.
* 0 = default, CSA/NOL handling as per normal.
* 1 = announce a CSA, but don't add the channel to the non-occupy list
(NOL.)
* 2 = disable both CSA and NOL - only print that a radar event occured.
This code is not compiled/enabled by default as it breaks regulatory
handling. A user must enable IEEE80211_DFS_DEBUG in their kernel
configuration file for this option to become available.

This supports both station and hostap modes:
* Station mode quiet time element support listens to quiet time
IE's and modifies the local quiet time configuration as appropriate;
* Hostap mode both obeys the locally configured quiet time period
and includes it in beacon frames so stations also can obey as needed.

Note this includes changes to all drivers and moves some device firmware
loading to use firmware(9) and a separate module (e.g. ral). Also there
no longer are separate wlan_scan* modules; this functionality is now
bundled into the wlan module.
