iwlagn: rewrite HW crypto
As I just discovered while doing WoWLAN, HW crypto is done wrong for GTKs: they should be programmed for the AP station ID (in the managed mode case) and the HW can actually deal with multiple group keys per station as well (which is useful in IBSS RSN but that I've chosen not to use this). To fix all this, modify the way keys are sent to the device and key offsets are allocated. After these changes, key offsets are stored into the hw_key_idx which we can then track for the key lifetime, not relying on our sta_cmd array. WEP default keys get special treatment, of course. Additionally, since I had the API for it, we can now pre-fill TKIP phase 1 keys for RX now that we can obtain the P1K from mac80211, a capability I had added for WoWLAN initially. Finally, some keys simply don't need to be added into the device's key cache -- a key that won't be used for RX is only needed in the TX header, so "pretend" to have accepted any key without adding it into the device -- no need to use up key space there for it.
