This adds support for drivers that have AP SME integrated but do
not implement the SA Query procedure that is part of Protected
Management Frames (PMF, 802.11w).
Instead, hostapd can be used to assist drivers that lack SA Query
Procedure handling on their own by allowing them to specify this as
a device capability flag.
Also, a station flag is added to let hostapd indicate to the driver
that the SA Query procedure is complete and the driver can process
association requests from the station normally.
