We are already using NL80211_ATTR_STA_AID, though -- one is for the
station's AID (in our TIM, which is NL80211_ATTR_STA_AID) and the new one
is for our AID in the peer's TIM.

There is the NL80211_ATTR_PEER_AID but that seems specific to TDLS and
also doesn't appear to be processed in the necessary way (e.g. overrides
STA_AID in nl80211_new_station).
