When in AP mode we need to filter in beacons from other APs to update HT
operation mode. As a power optimization the beacons are filtered out when
there are no associated stations. As a result, when there are no
associated stations, we will not update the HT operation mode until a
station connects.
Add a debugfs parameter that allows to disable this optimization.

Currently firmware is configured to filter out beacons. In case
a beacon was changed - it is waking the host.
However, some vendors change their IEs frequently without any
significant change, and redundant wakeups are triggered as a
result.
As a solution disable beacon filtering when entering d0i3.
Instead, firmware will store the latest beacon and upon exiting
d0i3 it will send it up to the host, so the host can act upon
changes (if there were any).
This beacon will arrive as a dedicated notification - support it
as well.

The commit below called iwl_mvm_mac_ctxt_changed() to handle
a case that the vif is a P2P GO.
However iwl_mvm_mac_ctxt_cmd_go() ignores the number of
associated stations and asks the FW to pass beacons anyways.
Fix this by checking ap_assoc_sta_count parameter, in iwl_mvm_mac_ctxt_cmd_go()
as well, and ask the FW to pass beacons only when there's
at least one associated station.

The firmware knows better what antenna to choose.
Old firmware still need the setting, so use a flag to know
if the driver should choose the antenna or if the firmware
can do it iself.

Currently when creating a new vif in monitor mode the driver doesn't
allocate a specific station. This causes that in the situation that
tx traffic is injected, the tx queues are not scheduled,
with the result of a TFD queue hang.
Fix that by allocating a station and ensuring its tx queues
are scheduled.

ilw@linux.intel.com is not available anymore.
linuxwifi@intel.com should be used instead.

The fw debug functionality is big enough to warrant
a separate file. Move existing related functions to the new file.
