For ieee80211_add_channel+*() we are passing in an int flag for
ht40 and in some cases another int flag for vht80 where we'd only
need two bits really.
Convert these variables to a bitflag and fold them together into one.
This also allows for VHT160 and VHT80P80 and whatever may come to
be considered. Define the various options currently needed.
Change the drivers (rtwn and rsu) which actually set this bit to non-0.
For convenience the "1" currently used for HT40 is preserved.
Enahnce getflags_5ghz() to handle the full set of VHT flags based
on the input flags from the the driver.
Update the regdomain implementation as well to make use of the new
flags and deal with higher [V]HT bandwidths.
ieee80211_add_channel() specifically did not take flags so it will
not support naything beyond 20Mhz channels.
Note: I am not entirely happy with the "cbw_flag[s]" name, but we
do use chan_flags elsewhere already.

Make sure all occurrences of ieee80211_input_xxx() in sys/dev are
covered by a network epoch section. Do not depend on the interrupt
handler nor any taskqueues being in a network epoch section.
This patch should unbreak the PCI WLAN drivers after r357004.

- Alignment issues:
* Add missing __packed attributes + padding across all drivers; in
most places there was an assumption that padding will be always
minimally suitable; in few places - e.g., in urtw(4) / rtwn(4) -
padding was just missing.
* Add __aligned(8) attribute for all Rx radiotap headers since they can
contain 64-bit TSF timestamp; it cannot appear in Tx radiotap headers, so
just drop the attribute here. Refresh ieee80211_radiotap(9) man page
accordingly.
- Since net80211 automatically updates channel frequency / flags in
ieee80211_radiotap_chan_change() drop duplicate setup for these fields
in drivers.
Tested with Netgear WG111 v3 (urtw(4)), STA mode.

- Fix data frames transmission via POWER_STATUS register setup -
it seems to be set by MACID_CONFIG firmware command, which was broken*
in r290439 and later disabled in r307529.
We can re-enable it later if / when firmware rate adaptation will be
ready; however, this step will be required anyway - for firmware-less
builds.
- Force RTS / CTS protection frame rate to CCK1 (this rate works fine
without any additional setup; no better workaround is known yet).
The problem was not observed on the channel 1 or with CCK1 rate enforced
('ifconfig wlan0 ucastrate 1' for 11 b/g; not possible for 11n networks
due to ifconfig(8) bug).
* I'm not sure if it works before r290439 because - AFAIR - I never seen
firmware rate adaptation working for 10-STABLE urtwn(4)
(It needs EN_BCN bit set and RSSI updates at least).
Tested with RTL8188CUS in STA mode
(in regular mode and with disabled MRR - DARFRC*8 is set to 0)

Wrap ieee80211_add_channel_list_2ghz into another function
which supplies default (1-14) channel list to it and drop
its copies from drivers.
Checked with RTL8188EE, country US / JP / KR / UA.

Replace in-place implementation with system-wide one; since it
guarantees non-zero result drop all less-than-one checks from
drivers and net80211.

Rate tables have this bit set to indicate minimal set of basic rates;
however, it overlappes with MCS bit, so rate2ridx() will treat them as
an 11n rate.
Due to the current rates setup the issue can be reproduced only
in 5GHz band with 11n / protection enabled.
Tested with RTL8821AU, HOSTAP mode.

The code is similar to the one for RTL8188E* and probably
should be shared with RTL8188CE (needs to be tested).
Checked with RTL8188CUS, STA mode.

Add macros for R12A_RXDMA_PRO register (descriptions were seen in the
RTL8822B vendor driver) and merge 2 r21au_init_burstlen() copies.
No functional change intended.
This removes the direct WME info access in the ieee80211com struct and instead
provides a method of fetching the data. Right now it's a no-op but eventually
it'll turn into a per-VAP method for drivers that support it (eg iwn, iwm,
upcoming ath10k work) as things like p2p support require this kind of behaviour.
Tested:
* ath(4), STA and AP mode
TODO:
* yes, this is slightly stack size-y, but it is an important first step
to get drivers migrated over to a sensible WME API. A lot of per-phy things
need to be converted to per-VAP before P2P, 11ac firmware, etc stuff shows up.
