cfg80211: allow wiphy specific regdomain management
Add a new regulatory flag that allows a driver to manage regdomain changes/updates for its own wiphy. A self-managed wiphys only employs regulatory information obtained from the FW and driver and does not use other cfg80211 sources like beacon-hints, country-code IEs and hints from other devices on the same system. Conversely, a self-managed wiphy does not share its regulatory hints with other devices in the system. If a system contains several devices, one or more of which are self-managed, there might be contradictory regulatory settings between them. Usage of flag is generally discouraged. Only use it if the FW/driver is incompatible with non-locally originated hints. A new API lets the driver send a complete regdomain, to be applied on its wiphy only. After a wiphy-specific regdomain change takes place, usermode will get a new type of change notification. The regulatory core also takes care enforce regulatory restrictions, in case some interfaces are on forbidden channels.
