Once the FW supports autonomous decision between STBC/BFER/SISO
we no longer set the STBC bit and ANT_AB in the rate table.
However the FW rate in the tx response will have the STBC
or BFER bit set and the antennas set to ANT_AB in case these
were chosen by it. This will cause us to discard any such
response as unmatching the current LQ table and thus break
the rs search cycle completely.
Fix this by relaxing the rate matching in case we're working
with the new API and STBC/BFER are used.

Currently rs uses the info in mac80211 tx status which is
a translation of the actual rate coming up from the FW in
the tx response. This is matched up against the LQ table first
rate to make sure this tx frame used the current LQ table.
Instead of using the translated mac80211 info it's easier and
cleaner to just pass the actual tx response rate in the driver
private data and use that for matching.
This becomes even more important once the FW begins to
decide on its own whether to use STBC/BFER/SISO.

VHT Beamformer (BFER) will be used if the peer supports it

The driver now tells the FW whether BFER and/or STBC are
allowed but the FW will make the decision to use either
or stick to SISO on its own.
BFER is limited to a single remote peer. The driver takes

When Tx STBC is being used and RS switches to a search column
using the alternate antenna from the current one there is a
problem with using rs_rate_match to figure out which table
is the active and which one is the search one. The root cause
is because in STBC the antenna mask in the ucode rate is set
to ANT_AB and in this specific scenario it matches both the
active and search table (e.g. SISO_ANT_A and SISO_ANT_B).
This leads to tx stats being updated in the wrong table and later
on to getting stuck in a test window and not moving on to other
columns. If this happens during the initial search cycle we
never end it and therefore never enable aggregation which leads
naturally to severe througput degradation.
Fix it by deducing which table is which by knowing whether we're
in a search or not like it's being done in rs_rate_scale_perform
