Introducing a new feature that the driver can use to
indicate the driver/firmware supports configuration of BSS
selection criteria upon CONNECT command. This can be useful
when multiple BSS-es are found belonging to the same ESS,
ie. Infra-BSS with same SSID. The criteria can then be used to
offload selection of a preferred BSS.

V7:
- add validatioin using nla_ok().
V8:
- use IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS.
- add NESTED policy for NL80211_ATTR_BSS_SELECT.
- add braces in for loop.
V9:
- use ieee80211_band iso nl80211_band.
