When station is using an HT channel to communicate to AP and communication
is lost then driver will first be notified that channel is not an HT
channel anymore before AP station is removed. A consequence of that is that
the driver will know that it is not communicating on HT anymore, but the
rate scaling table is still under the impression it is operating in HT. Any
time after driver has been notified channel is not HT anymore there will
thus be a firmware SYSASSERT when the current active LQ command is sent.

A workaround for this issue is to not send a LQ command in the short time between
being notified channel is not HT anymore and rate scaling table being
updated.

Currently, the broadcast station is managed along
with the interface type, rather than always being
present. That leads to a bug with injection -- it
is currently not possible to inject frames when
the only virtual interface is a monitor, because
in that the required broadcast station is missing.

Additionally, allocating and deallocating the
broadcast station's LQ all the time is wasteful,
and the code to support this is fairly complex.

So this changes completely the way we manage the
broadcast station. Rather than manage it along
with any interface, we now allocate it when we
bring the device up, and remove it again when we
bring the device down. When we bring the device
up, we don't immediately program the broadcast
station into it, instead we just mark it active
and rely on the next restore cycle to upload it
to the device. This works because an unassociated
RXON is always required at least once to set up
device parameters, which implies a reprogramming
of stations into the device.

As we now manage all stations properly, there no
longer is a need for forcing a clearing of them
via iwl_clear_ucode_stations(), which can become
a lot simpler.

The "is_ap" argument to iwl_sta_init_lq is never true,

it needs to have the station ID because it is also used

broadcast ID.

unless the interface is set down.

When adding the broadcast station the link quality command is
generated on demand, sent to device, and disappears. It is thus not
available for later cases when we need to restore stations and need
to send the link quality command afterwards. Now, when first adding the
broadcast station, also generate its link quality command to always be
available for later restoring.

Also fix an issue when adding local stations where the "in progress" state
is never cleared.
