Add configuration option 'mbssid' used to enable multiple BSSID (MBSSID)
and enhanced multiple BSSID advertisements (EMA) features. Add macros for
the valid values.
Reject the configuration if any of the BSSes have hidden SSID enabled.

+# Multiple BSSID Advertisement in 802.11ax
+# IEEE Std 802.11ax-2021 added a feature where instead of multiple interfaces
+# on a common radio transmitting individual beacons, those can form a set with
+# a common beacon is transmitted for all. The interface which is brought up
+# first is called as the transmitting profile of the MBSSID set which transmits
+# the beacons. The remaining interfaces are called as the non-transmitting
+# profiles and these are advertised inside the multiple BSSID element in the
+# beacons and probe response frames.
+# The transmitting interface is visible to all clients in the vicinity, however
+# the clients which do not support parsing of the multiple BSSID element will
+# not be able to connect to the non-transmitting interfaces.
+#
+# Enhanced Multiple BSSID Advertisements (EMA)
+# When enabled, the non-transmitting interfaces are split into multiple
+# beacons. The number of beacons required to cover all the non-transmitting
+# profiles is called as the profile periodicity.
+#
+# Refer to IEEE Std 802.11-2020 for details regarding the procedure and
+# required MAC address assignment.
+#
+# Following configuration is per radio.
+# 0 = Disabled (Default)
+# 1 = Multiple BSSID advertisements enabled.
+# 2 = Enhanced multiple BSSID advertisements enabled.
+#mbssid=0
+#
+# The transmitting interface should be added with 'interface' option while
+# the non-transmitting interfaces should be added using 'bss' option.
+# Security configuration should be added separately per interface, if required.
+#
+# Example:
+#mbssid=2
+#interface=wlan2
+#ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
+#wpa_passphrase=0123456789
+#ieee80211w=2
+#sae_pwe=1
