If we can't switch to a column because no rates are supported
in that column this led to a state where the search cycle
got stuck and never ended. This in turn also led to aggregation
not being turned on. Fix this by marking a column as
visited if we can't switch to it.

rs_fill_lq_cmd(mvm = NULL, ...)
rs_build_rates_table
rs_fill_rates_for_column
ucode_rate_from_rs_rate

No real reason for passing NULL to rs_fill_lq_cmd so fix that.

MCS9 introduces some corner cases in the current rs

which yields better throughput results as MCS8 is much

Rewrite the search cycle state machine to use a more data
oriented approach where the different Tx columns (configs)
limitations and next columns to search are reprsented in
tables which are easy to change. This overhaul also includes
several major fixes:

1. Prevent going back to a specific Tx column in a search
cycle if it was already explored.

2. Avoid switching to a Tx column that doesn't have any chance
if it performs perfectly to beat the current throughput we're
getting.

These issues were degrading throughput as they were causing
switching to "bad" Tx columns.

The table rs_ht_to_legacy is used to get the next legacy rate
following the last HT or VHT rate in the LQ rates table.
The mapping wasn't correct as well as didn't include entries
for MCS8/9 which led to out of bounds access. This didn't
trigger a crash but led to legacy rate entries using 1Mbps
rate.
In 5Ghz this probably caused the Tx to fail completely given
that Tx attempt would have reached the legacy entries and 1Mbps
isn't valid.

Expected TPT table was updated only when switching to a new
modulation. This is wrong as toggling aggregation changes
the expected TPT signficantly.
This leads to scenarios where turning aggregation on after
being in MIMO sends us back to SISO despite a perfect success
ratio.
This occurred because the TPT of the SISO mode was being
estimated based on aggregation while the MIMO one wasn't.

Also remove an error print which isn't an error anymore
since we might be updating the expected TPT table due
to aggregation changes.
