Sending as RFC to gather some feedback. It can be quite useful
to see own beacons on monitor interfaces for debugging purposes.
However, since there is no tx status for beacons on most drivers
this patchset sends a copy of each beacon fetched via
ieee80211_beacon_get_tim to the monitor interfaces.
Of course, the beacon won't have proper seq numbers for example
as these are filled in in hw/fw.
Still this can be very helpful for debugging.
