Multi-bss (aka vap) support for 802.11 devices.
Note this includes changes to all drivers and moves some device firmware loading to use firmware(9) and a separate module (e.g. ral). Also there no longer are separate wlan_scan* modules; this functionality is now bundled into the wlan module. Supported by: Hobnob and Marvell Reviewed by: many Obtained from: Atheros (some bits)
