SAE: Allow AP behavior for SAE Confirm to be configured

hostapd is by default waiting STA to send SAE Confirm before sending the
SAE Confirm. This can now be configured with sae_confirm_immediate=1
resulting in hostapd sending out SAE Confirm immediately after sending
SAE Commit.

These are the two different message sequences:

sae_confirm_immediate=0
STA->AP: SAE Commit
AP->STA: SAE Commit
STA->AP: SAE Confirm
AP->STA: SAE Confirm
STA->AP: Association Request
AP->STA: Association Response

sae_confirm_immediate=1
STA->AP: SAE Commit
AP->STA: SAE Commit
AP->STA: SAE Confirm
STA->AP: SAE Confirm
STA->AP: Association Request
AP->STA: Association Response
