[PATCH] wireless-regdb: add DFS CAC time parameter

This one parse CAC time in wireless-regdb. I also change VERSION while
binary format was changed.
Didn't touch db.txt while will work as today (CAC = 0 - default CAC
time defined in mac80211).

We can allow VERSION=19 and VERSION=20, and handle this in CRDA
dynamically. This should be quite easy.
