Rewrite the search cycle state machine to use a more data
oriented approach where the different Tx columns (configs)
limitations and next columns to search are reprsented in
tables which are easy to change. This overhaul also includes
several major fixes:
1. Prevent going back to a specific Tx column in a search
cycle if it was already explored.
2. Avoid switching to a Tx column that doesn't have any chance
if it performs perfectly to beat the current throughput we're
getting.
These issues were degrading throughput as they were causing
switching to "bad" Tx columns.

The table rs_ht_to_legacy is used to get the next legacy rate

The mapping wasn't correct as well as didn't include entries
for MCS8/9 which led to out of bounds access. This didn't

Expected TPT table was updated only when switching to a new
modulation. This is wrong as toggling aggregation changes
the expected TPT signficantly.
This leads to scenarios where turning aggregation on after
being in MIMO sends us back to SISO despite a perfect success
ratio.
This occurred because the TPT of the SISO mode was being
estimated based on aggregation while the MIMO one wasn't.
Also remove an error print which isn't an error anymore
