If DFS channels are marked as "available", an AP can switch to them
immediately without performing CAC. Therefore, the channel selection
function should consider these channels even though these are radar
channels.

Different channels allow different transmission power, at least in ETSI
countries. Also, ETSI requires a "channel plan" for DFS operation, and
channels should be randomly choosen from these channels.
Add a channel list configuration option for users to add channels
hostapd may pick from.

Previously, we printed this message as a debug one, which was confusing
in case verbose debug messages were disabled. User could think CAC
started but never ended. Add more parameterss to DFS_EVENT_CAC_START, so
external programs can more easily check what was wrong in case of
errors.

This seemed to be fine on most code paths, but the code was complex
enough to make the analysis difficult (and a bit too much for static
analyzers). There is no harm in forcing these parameters to be
initialized, so do that to make sure they cannot be left uninitialized.

Allow mixed DFS and non-DFS channels, e.g., VHT160 on channels 36-64.
This is useful for testing VHT160 with mac80211_hwsim.

Add configuration of Spectrum Management subfield in the Capability
Information of Beacon, Probe Response, and Association Response frames.
Spectrum Management bit is set when directly requested by new
configuration option spectrum_mgmt_required=1 or when AP is running on
DFS channels. In the future, also TPC shall require this bit to be set.

Initialize variables explicitly to avoid [-Wmaybeuninitialized] compiler
warning in hostapd_handle_dfs() and

Until now DFS was simply restarting the AP when radar was detected. Now
CSA is used to perform smooth switch to the new channel. Stations not
supporting CSA will behave as before.

This is needed for AP CSA. Since CSA must happen immediately after radar
is detected there's no time to perform CAC. Thus, radar channels must be
disabled when looking for a new channel to escape to after a radar is
detected.

NL80211_ATTR_CENTER_FREQ1 is defined to be used for anything but 20 MHz
bandwidth, so it could be unset for 20 MHz channels. Do not use it to
override center frequency from NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_FREQ (if available)
for 20 MHz channels to avoid clearing frequency.

DFS operations are specific to the interface (radio/wiphy), not BSS
(netdev/vif), so hostapd_iface is the appropriate element to use in
them.
Signed-hostap: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>
If radar was detected single BSS is notified about it. This caused only
that single BSS to be stopped and restarted. However, due to nl80211
interface combinations the BSS was not started on a new channel and
other BSSes remained operating on the old channel.
The downside is that hostapd_disable_iface() causes deauth frames to be
sent. This is undesired but on the other hand it doesn't make sense to
create workarounds that imitate CSA's 'block tx'. For proper Tx
quiescing CSA should be properly implemented.

Decouple HT/VHT offset/center-freq calculations from channel lookup.
This will be necessary for further improvements on the DFS codebase.

When we have CAC active and receive a radar event, we should ignore
CAC_ABORT event and handle channel switch in the radar event handler.

This fixes a problem when operating on non-DFS channel and receiving a
radar event for that channel. Previously, we would have decided to
switch channels.

The VHT_CHANWIDTH_160MHZ case fell through to the default case and

Add DFS structures/events handlers, CAC handling, and radar detection.
By default, after radar is detected or the channel became unavailable, a
random channel will be chosen.
This patches are based on the original work by Boris Presman and
Victor Goldenshtein. Most of the DFS code is moved to a new dfs.c/dfs.h
files.
