Add nl80211 and driver API to validate, add and delete traffic
streams with appropriate settings.

The API calls for userspace doing the action frame handshake
with the peer, and then allows only to set up the parameters
in the driver. To avoid setting up a session only to tear it
down again, the validate API is provided, but the real usage
later can still fail so userspace must be prepared for that.

<title>mac80211: support DTPC IE (from Cisco Client eXtensions)</title>

<content type='text'>
Linux already supports 802.11h, where the access point can tell the
client to reduce its transmission power. However, 802.11h is only
defined for 5 GHz, where the need for this is much smaller than on
2.4 GHz.

Cisco has their own solution, called DTPC (Dynamic Transmit Power
Control). Cisco APs on a controller sometimes but not always send
802.11h; they always send DTPC, even on 2.4 GHz. This patch adds support
for parsing and honoring the DTPC IE in addition to the 802.11h
element (they do not always contain the same limits, so both must
be honored); the format is not documented, but very simple.

Tested (on top of wireless.git and on 3.16.1) against a Cisco Aironet
1142 joined to a Cisco 2504 WLC, by setting various transmit power
levels for the given access points and observing the results.
The Wireshark 802.11 dissector agrees with the interpretation of the
element, except for negative numbers, which seem to never happen
anyway.

TPC report element is contained in spectrum management's tpc report
action frames and in radio measurement's link measurement report
action frames. Add a function which checks whether an action frame
contains this element. This may be needed by the drivers in order
to set the correct tx power value in these frames.

When TDLS QoS is supported by the the peer and the local card, add
the WMM parameter IE to the setup-confirm frame. Take the QoS settings
from the current AP, or if unsupported, use the default values from
the specification. This behavior is mandated by IEEE802.11-2012 section
10.22.4.
