Add wiphy flag to indicate that HW does all DFS actions by itself.
User-space functionality already implemented in hostapd using
vendor-specific (QCA) OUI to advertise HW support.
Need to introduce generic flag to inform about DFS offload support.
For deivces with DFS_OFFLOAD flag set user-space will no longer
need to issue CAC or do any actions in response to
"radar detected" events. HW will do everything by itself and send
events to user-space to idicate that CAC was started/finished, etc.

wiphy flags are kinda deprecated. At least no new flags should be added.
Instead use EXT_FEATURE flag.
