Allow setting TX and RX antenna configuration via nl80211/cfg80211.
The antenna configuration is defined as a bitmap of allowed antennas. This
bitmap is 8 bit at the moment, each bit representing one antenna. If multiple
antennas are selected, the driver may use diversity for receive and transmit.
This allows for a simple, yet flexible configuration interface for antennas,
while drivers may reject configurations they cannot support.
