This patch updates the mesh peering frames to the format specified in
the recently ratified 802.11s standard. Several changes took place to
make this happen:
- Change RX path to handle new self-protected frames
- Add new Peering management IE
- Remove old Peer Link IE
- Remove old plink_action field in ieee80211_mgmt header
These changes by themselves would either break peering, or work by
coincidence, so squash them all into this patch.

As described at [1] some STAs (i.e. Intel 5100 Windows) can end up
correctly BlockAcking incoming frames without delivering them to user
space if a AMPDU subframe got lost and we don't flush the receipients
reorder buffer with a BlockAckReq. This in turn results in stuck
connections.
According to 802.11n-2009 it is not necessary to send a BAR to flush
the recepients RX reorder buffer but we still do that to be polite.
However, assume the following frame exchange:
AP -> STA, AMPDU (failed)
AP -> STA, BAR (failed)
The client in question then ends up in the same situation and won't
deliver frames to userspace anymore since we weren't able to flush
its reorder buffer.
This is not a hypothetical situation but I was able to observe this
exact behavior during a stress test between a rt2800pci AP and a Intel
5100 Windows client.
In order to work around this issue just tear down the BA session as
soon as a BAR failed to be TX'ed.

writing to hardware registers. These settings are lost as soon as the core

restarting hostapd led to the beacon interval getting set to ~33s (see

The ROC command asks the fw stay on the channel of the given
hlid. it currently has 2 primary functions:
1. Allow tx/rx from the device role.
In order to tx/rx packets while the stations is not associated
(e.g. auth req/resp), the device role has to be used, along
with ROC on its link.
Keep the logic similiar to the one used in dummy_join. However,
since we can't scan while we ROC, we add CROC before starting
a scan, and ROC again (if needed) on scan complete.
2. Keeping the antenna for a specific link.
We ROC until the connection was completed (after EAPOLs exchange)
in order to prevent BT coex operations from taking the antenna
and failing the connection (after this stage, psm can be used).
During association, we ROC on the station role, and then CROC
the device role, thus assuring being ROC during all the connection
process.
Delete the WL1271_FLAG_JOINED flag, and use a roc bitmap
to indicate what roles are currently ROCed.
Add wl12xx_roc/croc functions in order to wrap the roc/croc
commands while taking care of the roc bitmap.
The current ROC/CROC state-machine is a bit complicated. In
the future we'll probably want to use wpa_supplicant to control
the ROC during connection.
