[802.11] Enhance support for driver PHY differences

Browse Source 
The prior net80211 model of physical-layer behavior for drivers was
overly simplistic and limited the drivers that could be written.  To
be more flexible, split the driver-provided list of supported rates by
band, and add a means for specifying a list of supported channels.
Allow drivers to specify a hardware channel value that will be tied to
uses of the channel.

Expose net80211_duration() to drivers, and make the rate it uses in
its computations configurable, so that it can be used in calculating
durations that must be set in hardware for ACK and CTS packets. Add
net80211_cts_duration() for the common case of calculating the
duration for a CTS packet.
