adrian 75b1078abb [wlanwds] allow for a DWDS AP VAP to be not be the first VAP on a NIC.
The wlanwds code was just creating a clone VAP without specifying the MAC
address to use for said clone VAP.  This meant that if an interface
was cloned from an AP interface that wasn't the first created VAP
(which shares the same MAC as the parent physical interface by default)
then the cloned interface would have the wrong MAC and traffic wouldn't work.

Besides chip bugs (ha!) this isn't a requirement.

So, teach wlanwds to:

* look up the link layer address for a given interface (which really should
  be a library interface, and will likely quickly become one);
* use this when creating a cloned interface for a DWDS peer;
* (net80211 already has the infrastructure to do this, it just needed to be
  used);
* add some extra logging to see what MAC addresses, parent interfaces, etc
  are being created.

Whilst here, add a reminder that I should extend this to include monitoring
a specific VAP for DWDS updates rather than just the parent interface.

This is the first step in allowing for multiple DWDS hops, which is a
pre-requisite for adrian's house having wifi in the single upstairs room.

Tested:

* AR9380, DWDS AP + AP mode - with DWDS AP being the second VAP created
  with a different MAC address;
* AR9331 (Carambola2), AP + DWDS STA;
* passing traffic

TODO:

* fix 802.11s so this DWDS stuff is no longer required!
