Mesh HWMP module will be able to rely on the HW
RC algorithm if it exists, for path metric calculations.
This allows the metric calculation mechanism to calculate
a correct metric, based on PER and last TX rate both via
HW RC algorithm if it exists or via parameters collected
by the SW.

Changed previous implementation according to Johannes's
comment. Combined the RC test and throughput assignment
to a sta_get_expected_throughput function.
Using the function both from airtime_link_metric and
from sta_set_sinfo.
