Replace the internal ath9k implementation of multicast/broadcast frame
power save buffering (AP mode) in ath9k with use of mac80211
ieee80211_get_buffered_bc() mechanism. This removes quite a bit of
duplicated functionality and simplifies the driver part.

Don't trim the FCS before passing the frame to mac80211,
move TSF_TO_TU to core.h and delete more unused macros.

Also, Max RX-ampdu and mpdu-density are ath9k specific.
Rename appropriately.

Use direct pci functions instead.
Also, use sc_ht_info.tx_chan_width directly and remove ath_cwm_macmode.

Use TX control flag IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ as a request to update
the seq# for the frames. This will likely require some further cleanup
to get seq# correctly for Beacons vs. other frames and also potentially
for multiple BSSes. Anyway, this is better than ending up sending out
most frames with seq# 0.

This change moves ath9k to use mac80211-generated Beacon frames instead
of trying to allocate a single Beacon frame and then update it. In
addition, the remaining ath_skb_{map,unmap}_single() wrapper calls are
replaced with direct pci_{map,unmap}_single() calls in beacon.c. Power
save buffering for multicast/broadcast frames is not yet converted to
use mac80211-style (frames to be buffered inside mac80211, not in
driver).

Use a single enum for managing modes, store supported modes by
the HW in a bitmask.
Register legacy rates with mac80211 only at init.

Use ath9k_tx_queue_info which contains the same elements,
and merge get/set functions of tx queue properties.
Also, fix whitespace damage in struct ath_softc.
