hostapd: Add config option chanlist for DFS channels

Different channels allow different transmission power, at least in ETSI
countries. Also, ETSI requires a "channel plan" for DFS operation, and
channels should be randomly choosen from these channels.

Add a channel list configuration option for users to add channels
hostapd may pick from.
