vlan: Add GVRP support
Add GVRP support for dynamically registering VLANs with switches.
By default GVRP is disabled because we only support the applicant-only
participant model, which means it should not be enabled on vlans that
are members of a bridge. Since there is currently no way to cleanly
determine that, the user is responsible for enabling it.
The code is pretty small and low impact, its wrapped in a config
option though because it depends on the GARP implementation and
the STP core.

This patch fixes a bug in association flow. As soon as RXON with assoc bit
is sent, uCode expects to have an entry in its station table that describe
the AP. Receiving a beacon from an HT AP before sending ADD_STA results a
uCode error. This patch sends first the ADD_STA (bcast and bssid) and only
then RXON with assoc bit set

This patch makes the station table maintenance safer. Two flags are
maintained:
1) if station is present in driver
2) if station is present in uCode
This will allow us in the future to deal with more stations than the
firmware allows.

build algorithms into the mac80211 module
The old infrastructure was:
- the default algorithm is built into mac80211
- other algorithms get into their own modules
The implementation of this complicated scheme was horrible
(just look at net/mac80211/Makefile), and anyone adding a new
algorithm would most likely not get it right at his first attempt.
This patch therefore builds all enabled algorithms into the mac80211
module.
The user interface for the rate control algorithms changes as follows:
- first the user can choose which algorithms to enable (currently only
MAC80211_RC_PID is available)
- if more than one algorithm is enabled (currently not possible since
only one algorithm is present) the user then chooses the default one
Note:
- MAC80211_RC_PID is always enables for CONFIG_EMBEDDED=n
Technical changes:
- all selected algorithms get into the mac80211 module
- net/mac80211/Makefile can now become much less complicated
- support for rc80211_pid_algo.c being modular is no longer required
- this includes unexporting mesh_plink_broken
