ath9k: Update Beacon timers based on timestamp from the AP

Some APs seem to drift away from the expected TBTT (timestamp %
beacon_int_in_usec differs quite a bit from zero) which can result in
us waking up way too early to receive a Beacon frame. In order to work
around this, re-configure the Beacon timers after having received a
Beacon frame from the AP (i.e., when we know the offset between the
expected TBTT and the actual time the AP is sending out the Beacon
frame).
