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 known to be incomplete

- * reworked in the not-too-distant future.
- *
- * For now, drivers wishing to control which channels are and aren't available
- * are advised as follows:
- *  - set the IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag
- *  - continue to include *ALL* possible channels in the modes registered
- *    through ieee80211_register_hwmode()
- *  - for each allowable ieee80211_channel structure registered in the above
- *    call, set the flag member to some meaningful value such as
- *    IEEE80211_CHAN_W_SCAN | IEEE80211_CHAN_W_ACTIVE_SCAN |
- *    IEEE80211_CHAN_W_IBSS.
- *  - leave flag as 0 for non-allowable channels
- *
- * 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, then performing
- * the above.
