Add Power Constraint information element to Beacon and Probe Response
frames when hostapd is configured on 5 GHz band and Country information
element is also added. According to IEEE Std 802.11-2012 a STA shall
determine a local maximum transmit power for the current channel based
on information derived from Country and Power Constraint elements.
In order to add Power Constraint element ieee80211d option need to be
enabled and new local_pwr_constraint config option need to be set to
unsigned value in units of decibels. For now this value is statically
configured but the future goal is to implement dynamic TPC algorithm
to control local power constraint.

In order to test clients in scenarios where APs may (randomly)
drop certain management frames, introduce some testing options
into the hostapd configuration that can make it ignore certain

The conf doesn't contain any basic rates in some cases. Most notably,
when starting a P2P GO in 5 GHz. Use the iface rates which are

commit e5693c4775.

disable_dgaf=1 in hostapd.conf can now be used to disable downstream
group-addressed forwarding (DGAF). In this configuration, a unique
GTK (and IGTK) is provided to each STA in the BSS to make sure the
keys do not match and no STA can forge group-addressed frames.
An additional mechanism in the AP needs to be provided to handle some
group-addressed frames, e.g., by converting DHCP packets to unicast
IEEE 802.11 frames regardless of their destination IP address and by
providing Proxy ARP functionality.

The signal strength is currently never used as the only driver reporting
it is nl80211 which uses IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_DB_ANTSIGNAL which is never
populated by the kernel. The kernel will (soon) populate
IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_DBM_ANTSIGNAL instead though, so use that.
Also, since it was never really populated, we can redefine the signal
field to be in dBm units only.
My next patch will also require knowing the signal strength of probe
requests throughout the code (where available), so add it to the
necessary APIs.

When hostapd is about to start an AP using HT40, it starts a scan to
check whether it is allowed or not. If OLBC is detected before the
scan has completed, it sets the beacons prematurely.
To fix this, instead of setting all beacons when OLBC is detected,
only update the ones that have already been started.

When drivers advertise their capability to free up inactive
stations based on ap_max_inactivity, send the inactivity period
timeout to driver in NL80211_ATTR_INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT. This
introduces a WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS (WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_INACTIVITY_TIMER)
so that the inactivity period will be sent only when this capability
bit is set.

Some client implementations only wait a few ms after sending a probe
request while scanning. Since probe responses are always sent at a low
rate this can eat quite some airtime and it might be impossible to get
the frame out before the client leaves the channel again. If the client
leaves before all probe reponses where acked this can cause the probe
reponse to be retried quite often consuming even more airtime.
Hence, add a new noack flag to the driver's send_mlme callback that
allows hostapd to request whether the driver should expect an ACK for
this frame or not.
Use the new noack-policy only for broadcast probe requests that contain
a wildcard SSID.

In some situations it might be benefical to send a unicast frame without
the need for getting it ACKed (probe responses for example). In order to
achieve this add a new noack parameter to the drivers send_mlme callback
that can be used to advise the driver to not wait for an ACK for this
frame.

This was included in the AP configuration parameters, but there has
been no way to set it to anything else than the default automatic
mode. Remove this parameter and just hardcode ERP determination to
follow the automatic mode.
Remove the separate driver_ops functions set_cts_protect(),
set_preamble(), set_short_slot_time(), and set_ht_params(). These
belong into same set of operations as set_ap(), so there is no need
to maintain separate functions that just make the driver wrapper
more complex.
Since these have only been used with driver_nl80211.c, the driver_ops
can be removed immediately instead of maintaining backwards
compatibility period with the old functions.
The AP client isolation parameter is now available through set_ap().
driver_nl80211.c was the only driver wrapper using the set_intra_bss()
call in hostap.git, but some external trees may have used this. Once
those are cleared, the set_infra_bss() driver_ops can be removed
completely. The only remaining use case for it currently is in P2P
GO mode with wpa_supplicant.
AP mode operations were used for P2P device discovery Listen state
only during early experiments. This has now been cleaned up and
ieee802_11_set_beacon() is not called for P2P device discovery.
As such, this hack to skip Beacon configuration can be removed.
This change is a first step in better supporting different driver
architectures for AP mode operations with nl80211. This commit in
itself does not add new functionality, but it makes it easier to add
new AP mode parameters to address needs of drivers that have more of
the MLME/SME in firmware or kernel.
This avoids a request to the driver to first start beaconing before
the WPA/RSN IE has been generated and then immediately changing the
beacon IEs once the WPA/RSN IE is ready.
