wifi: cfg80211: add support for NAN data interface
This new interface type represents a NAN data interface (NDI).
It is used for data communication with NAN peers.
Note that the existing NL80211_IFTYPE_NAN interface, which is the NAN
Management Interface (NMI), is used for management communication.
An NDI interface is started when a new NAN data path is about to
be established, and is stopped after the NAN data path is terminated.
- An NDI interface can only be started if the NMI is running, and NAN is
started.
- Before the NMI is stopped, the NDI interfaces will be stopped.
Add the new interface type, handle add/remove operations for it,
and makes sure of the conditions above.
