Johannes Berg 8f20542386 wireless: deprecate WDS and disable by default
The old WDS 4-addr frame support is very limited, e.g.
 * no encryption is possible on such links
 * it cannot support rate/HT/VHT negotiation
 * management APIs are very restricted

These make the WDS legacy mode useless in practice.

All of these are resolved by the 4-addr AP/client support,
so there's also no reason to improve WDS in the future.

Therefore, add a Kconfig option to disable legacy WDS.
This gives people an "emergency valve" while they migrate
to the better-supported 4-addr AP/client option; we plan
to remove it (and the associated cfg80211/mac80211 code,
which is the ultimate goal) in the future.
