cfg80211: add checks for beacon rate, extend to mesh
The previous commit added support for specifying the beacon rate for AP mode. Add features checks to this, and extend it to also support the rate configuration for mesh networks. For IBSS it's not as simple due to joining etc., so that's not yet supported. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
