Properly set ic_curchan before calling back to device driver to do channel
switching(ifconfig devX channel Y).  This fix should make channel changing
works again in monitor mode.

revert 1.64: we cannot use the channel characteristics to decide when to
do 11g erp sta accounting because b/g channels show up as false positives

Don't use ic_curmode to decide when to do 11g station accounting,
use the station channel properties.  Fixes assert failure/bogus
operation when an ap is operating in 11a and has associated stations
then switches to 11g.

Clarify/fix handling of the current channel:
o add ic_curchan and use it uniformly for specifying the current
  channel instead of overloading ic->ic_bss->ni_chan (or in some
  drivers ic_ibss_chan)
o add ieee80211_scanparams structure to encapsulate scanning-related
  state captured for rx frames
o move rx beacon+probe response frame handling into separate routines
o change beacon+probe response handling to treat the scan table
  more like a scan cache--look for an existing entry before adding
  a new one; this combined with ic_curchan use corrects handling of
  stations that were previously found at a different channel
o move adhoc neighbor discovery by beacon+probe response frames to
  a new ieee80211_add_neighbor routine

Propagate rename of IFF_OACTIVE and IFF_RUNNING to IFF_DRV_OACTIVE and
IFF_DRV_RUNNING, as well as the move from ifnet.if_flags to
ifnet.if_drv_flags.  Device drivers are now responsible for
synchronizing access to these flags, as they are in if_drv_flags.  This
helps prevent races between the network stack and device driver in
maintaining the interface flags field.

Many __FreeBSD__ and __FreeBSD_version checks maintained and continued;
some less so.

Split crypto tx+rx key indices and add a key index -> node mapping table:

Crypto changes:
o change driver/net80211 key_alloc api to return tx+rx key indices; a
  driver can leave the rx key index set to IEEE80211_KEYIX_NONE or set
  it to be the same as the tx key index (the former disables use of
  the key index in building the keyix->node mapping table and is the
  default setup for naive drivers by null_key_alloc)
o add cs_max_keyid to crypto state to specify the max h/w key index a
  driver will return; this is used to allocate the key index mapping
  table and to bounds check table loookups
o while here introduce ieee80211_keyix (finally) for the type of a h/w
  key index
o change crypto notifiers for rx failures to pass the rx key index up
  as appropriate (michael failure, replay, etc.)

Node table changes:
o optionally allocate a h/w key index to node mapping table for the
  station table using the max key index setting supplied by drivers
  (note the scan table does not get a map)
o defer node table allocation to lateattach so the driver has a chance
  to set the max key id to size the key index map
o while here also defer the aid bitmap allocation
o add new ieee80211_find_rxnode_withkey api to find a sta/node entry
  on frame receive with an optional h/w key index to use in checking
  mapping table; also updates the map if it does a hash lookup and the
  found node has a rx key index set in the unicast key; note this work
  is separated from the old ieee80211_find_rxnode call so drivers do
  not need to be aware of the new mechanism
o move some node table manipulation under the node table lock to close
  a race on node delete
o add ieee80211_node_delucastkey to do the dirty work of deleting
  unicast key state for a node (deletes any key and handles key map
  references)

Ath driver:
o nuke private sc_keyixmap mechansim in favor of net80211 support
o update key alloc api

These changes close several race conditions for the ath driver operating
in ap mode.  Other drivers should see no change.  Station mode operation
for ath no longer uses the key index map but performance tests show no
noticeable change and this will be fixed when the scan table is eliminated
with the new scanning support.

Cleanup beacon/listen interval handling:
o separate configured beacon interval from listen interval; this
  avoids potential use of one value for the other (e.g. setting
  powersavesleep to 0 clobbers the beacon interval used in hostap
  or ibss mode)
o bounds check the beacon interval received in probe response and
  beacon frames and drop frames with bogus settings; not clear
  if we should instead clamp the value as any alteration would
  result in mismatched sta+ap configuration and probably be more
  confusing (don't want to log to the console but perhaps ok with
  rate limiting)
o while here up max beacon interval to reflect WiFi standard

Fix handling of frames sent prior to a station being authorized
when operating in ap mode.  Previously we allocated a node from the
station table, sent the frame (using the node), then released the
reference that "held the frame in the table".  But while the frame
was in flight the node might be reclaimed which could lead to
problems.  The solution is to add an ieee80211_tmp_node routine
that crafts a node that does exist in a table and so isn't ever
reclaimed; it exists only so long as the associated frame is in flight.

Stop embedding struct ifnet at the top of driver softcs. Instead the
struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.

This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.

Other changes of note:
 - Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
   Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
   To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
 - The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
   from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.
