mac80211: refactor association

Refactor the code to reserve an skb of the right size
(instead of hoping 200 bytes are enough forever), and
also put HT IE generation into an own function.

Additionally, put the HT IE before the vendor-specific
WMM IE. This still leaves things not quite ordered
correctly, due to user-specified IEs, add a note about
that for now.
