Add infrastructure to configure station specific RSSI threshold
configuration to monitor station's signal strength variation.
This configuration will be useful for the application like
steering which requires change in the station's current signal
strength.
New NL80211_CMD_SET_STA_MON introduced to configure the RSSI threshold
using NL80211_ATTR_CQM nested attributes. The MAC address of
a station is passed in NL80211_ATTR_MAC. And NL80211_ATTR_STA_MON_FIXED_THOLD
introduced to have this RSSI threshold as a fixed limit or moving range thresholds.
Depends on the application's use case user can have either fixed or
moving RSSI range thresholds.
cfg80211_sta_mon_rssi_notify introduced to notify change in the
station's signal stregnth cross event using NL80211_CMD_NOTIFY_STA_MON.
Driver supporting this feature should advertise
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_STA_MON_RSSI_CONFIG feature flag.
