handles the update responses.

This patch introduces a new instance of rate_control_ops for
the new API (adding only empty stubs here and the subsequent
patches in the series will fill in the implementation).
The decision which API to use is done during the register
step according to FW TLV.

New devices will have rate scaling algorithm running in the firmware.
With this feature, the driver's responsiblity is to provide an initial
configuration and to handle notifications regarding recent rates and
some other parameters. Debugfs hooks will be still available for
reading the current rate/statistics and setting a fixed rate.
The old API is supported so far, though both APIs cannot be used
simultaneously.
This is the first patch in the series. It adds a new TLV specifying
FW support for the new API and updates lq_sta to support two types
of rate scaling.

A SCD bug was fixed in the A000 family, allowing to
support aggregations of 64 frames (rather than 63).

Up until now, the driver was comparing the rate reported by the FW and
the rate of the latest LQ command to avoid processing data belonging
to the old LQ command. Recently, FW changed the meaning of the initial
rate field in tx response and it holds the actual rate (which is not
necessarily the initial rate of LQ's rate table). Use instead LQ cmd
color to be able to filter out tx responses/BA notifications which
where sent during earlier LQ commands' time frame.
This fixes some throughput degradation in noisy environments.

Currently we try to open an aggregation for every packet (given that one
is not already open).
This causes redundant overhead (addba/delba) for null data packets.
Do not open an aggregation for null data packets.

This enum is already perfectly aliased to enum nl80211_band, and
the only reason for it is that we get IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS out of
it. There's no really good reason to not declare the number of
bands in nl80211 though, so do that and remove the cfg80211 one.
