mac80211: introduce capability flags for VHT EXT NSS support
Depending on whether or not rate control supports selecting rates depending on the bandwidth, we can use VHT extended NSS support. In essence, this is dot11VHTExtendedNSSBWCapable from the spec, since depending on that we'll need to parse the bandwidth. If needed, also set/clear the VHT Capability Element bit for this capability so that we don't advertise it erroneously or don't advertise it when we actually use it.
