ath10k: implement more versatile set_bitrate_mask
Until now only a single fixed tx rate or nss was allowed to be set. The patch attempts to improve this by allowing most bitrate masks. The limitation is VHT MCS rates cannot be expressed separately using existing firmware interfaces and only the following VHT MCS ranges are supported: none, 0-7, 0-8, and 0-9. This keeps the old behaviour when requesting single tx rate or single nss. The new bitrate mask logic is only applied to other cases that would return -EINVAL until now. Depending on firmware revisions some combinations may crash firmware so use with care, please. This depends on "ath10k: don't use reassoc flag". Without it key cache would effectively be invalidated upon bitrate change leading to communication being no longer possible.
