Felix Fietkau 6aea26ce5a mac80211: rework tx encapsulation offload API
The current API (which lets the driver turn on/off per vif directly) has a
number of limitations:
- it does not deal with AP_VLAN
- conditions for enabling (no tkip, no monitor) are only checked at
  add_interface time
- no way to indicate 4-addr support

In order to address this, store offload flags in struct ieee80211_vif
(easy to extend for decap offload later). mac80211 initially sets the enable
flag, but gives the driver a chance to modify it before its settings are
applied. In addition to the .add_interface op, a .update_vif_offload op is
introduced, which can be used for runtime changes.

If a driver can't disable encap offload at runtime, or if it has some extra
limitations, it can simply override the flags within those ops.

Support for encap offload with 4-address mode interfaces can be enabled
by setting a flag from .add_interface or .update_vif_offload.
