mac80211: introduce flush operation

We've long lacked a good confirmation that frames
have really gone out, e.g. before going off-channel
for a scan. Add a flush() operation that drivers
can implement to provide that confirmation, and use
it in a few places:
 * before scanning sends the nullfunc frames
 * after scanning sends the nullfunc frames, if any
 * when going idle, to send any pending frames
