hostapd: Don't mask out non-symmetric STA HT caps

Browse source 
Previously hostapd just masked the STAs HT caps with its own. However,
some HT caps are not symmetric and as such need to be handled
different.

hostapd shouldn't overwrite the STAs SMPS mode as otherwise the driver
cannot know it has to use RTS/CTS to wake the receiver from dynamic
SMPS for MCS rates > 7.

hostapd shouldn't mask the RX and TX STBC caps with it's own. They are
already handled in a special case below.
