cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversion

This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate
registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The
old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k)
are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations
can be done.

Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the
IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be
unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants
to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty
much required for travelling.

Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA
mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added
to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be
empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to
the BSS conf stuff.

I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit
power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.

+ * This regulatory domain control implementation is highly incomplete, it

+ * For now, drivers can restrict the set of allowed channels by either

+ * flag; that flag will only be *set* by this code, never *cleared.
+ *
+ * The usual implementation is for a driver to read a device EEPROM to
+ * determine which regulatory domain it should be operating under, then
+ * looking up the allowable channels in a driver-local table and finally
+ * registering those channels in the wiphy structure.
+ *
+ * Alternatively, drivers that trust the regulatory domain control here
+ * will register a complete set of capabilities and the control code
+ * will restrict the set by setting the IEEE80211_CHAN_* flags.
