iwlwifi: eliminate the possible 1/2 dBm tx power loss in 6x00 & 6x50 series 

In both 6x00 and 6x50 series, the enhanced/extended tx power table in
EEPROM is used to set the max. tx power limit.
This new tx power table is in 1/2 dBm format, which creates an issue of
possibility of 1/2 dBm loss when driver set the tx power limit; because
of driver keep track and report the tx power in dBm format.

In order to prevent the 1/2 dBm loss, keep track of the true max tx
power in 1/2 dBm format in driver; do the comparison and adjust the tx
power if needed when send tx power command to uCode.
