cfg80211: introduce nl80211 testmode command
This introduces a new NL80211_CMD_TESTMODE for testing and calibration use with nl80211. There's no multiplexing like like iwpriv had, and the command is not available by default, it needs to be explicitly enabled in Kconfig and shouldn't be enabled in most kernels. The command requires a wiphy index or interface index to identify the device to operate on, and the new TESTDATA attribute. There also is API for sending replies to the command, and testmode multicast messages (on a testmode multicast group). I've also updated mac80211 to be able to pass through the command to the driver, since it itself doesn't implement the testmode command. Additionally, to give people an idea of how to use the command, I've added a little code to hwsim that makes use of the new command to set the powersave mode, this is currently done via debugfs and should remain there, and the testmode command only serves as an example of how to use this best -- with nested netlink attributes in the TESTDATA attribute. A hwsim testmode tool can be found at http://git.sipsolutions.net/hwsim.git/. This tool is BSD licensed so people can easily use it as a basis for their own internal fabrication and validation tools.
