When joining an IBSS, the command line parameters could be used to
create the IBSS. As such, we need to know if the user wants to create an
HT IBSS or not. This is accomplish by passing the channel type (ie ht20,
ht40- or ht40+). Default is to create a non HT IBSS.
v2: Fixed parsing order of optionnal parameters. Parse argv[0] instead
of argv[1].
v3: Added parse_channel_type to factor some common parsing code.
