Currently, command “iw wlan0 station dump” does not show per-chain signal
strength.

This is because ath12k does not handle the num_per_chain_rssi and
rssi_avg_beacon reported by firmware to ath12k.

To address this, update ath12k to send WMI_REQUEST_STATS_CMDID with the
flag WMI_REQUEST_RSSI_PER_CHAIN_STAT to the firmware. Then, add logic to
handle num_per_chain_rssi and rssi_avg_beacon in the
ath12k_wmi_tlv_fw_stats_parse(), and assign the resulting per-chain signal
strength to the chain_signal of struct station_info.

After that, "iw dev xxx station dump" shows the correct per-chain signal
strength.
Such as:

Station AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF (on wlan0)
         inactive time:  212 ms
         rx bytes:       10398
         rx packets:     64
         tx bytes:       4362
         tx packets:     33
         tx retries:     49
         tx failed:      0
         beacon loss:    0
         beacon rx:      14
         rx drop misc:   16
         signal:         -45 [-51, -46] dBm
         beacon signal avg:      -44 dBm

Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.0-03427-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-1.15378.4
