cfg80211/mac80211: extensible frame processing

Allow userspace to register for more than just
action frames by giving the frame subtype, and
make it possible to use this in various modes
as well.

With some tweaks and some added functionality
this will, in the future, also be usable in AP
mode and be able to replace the cooked monitor
interface currently used in that case.
