wifi: iwlwifi: mld: Add support for multiple NAN Management stations

The following limitations arise from the current FW support for NAN:

- While NAN synchronization and discovery beacons are sent
  internally by the firmware, the BIGTK is configured to the
  auxiliary station associated with the NAN operation. Thus,
  the beacons are transmitted unprotected.
- The auxiliary station cannot be configured with support for
  management frame protection as this is not supported by the
  firmware. Thus, there is no way to protect the SDFs and the
  NAFs.

To overcome the above limitations the firmware introduced the
following new station types:

- NAN broadcast station: Used for NAN synchronization and
  discovery. i.e., used for beacon transmissions. A BIGTK
  can be configured to this station and thus beacons can
  be transmitted with protection.
- NAN management station: Used for sending SDFs and NAFs.
  This station can be configured with support for management
  frame protection etc.

Modify the iwlmld logic to support the older and the newer
firmware designs. As no Tx queue is needed for the NAN
broadcast station, modify the internal station support
to allow adding/removing a station without a queue. In
addition, since no links are associated with these stations,
modify the internal station support to allow adding a station
without a link mask.
