Move the beacon handler into mesh_neighbour_update where the STA
pointer is already available. This avoids additional overhead
and simplifies the handler.
The repositioning will also benefit mesh PS which uses the
T_offset value right after it has been updated.

Rename the handler to better reflect its purpose.

Is anyone actually planning to add more sync ops? I'm tempted to just
remove the entire abstraction here, since there's only a single concrete
implementation.

No plans to do so as of now. But since mesh networks are still a research topic, there may already be researchers somewhere, happy to have that extensible interface. Also the standard explicitly defines an "Extensible synchronization framework" in 13.13.2.
