ath5k: better beacon timer calculation

update ath5k_beacon_update_timers() for better beacon timer calculation in a
variety of situations. most important is the possibility to call it with the
timestamp of a received beacon, when we detected that a HW merge has happened
and we need to reconfigure the beacon timers based on that.

we call this from the mac80211 callback reset_tsf now instead of beacon_update,
and there will be more use of it in the next patch.
