Add NL80211_CMD_AP_CHANNEL_SWITCH command/event
which triggers an AP channel switch process and
notifies usermode about channel switch complete
event, once it completed.
Usermode (hostapd) is responsible to update the
channel switch announcement IE in the beacon
prior and after the channel switch operation.
