Extended channel switch provides an ability to switch between operating
classes and is required for P2P Devices by the P2P specification when
switching in 5 GHz.
When the operating class is provided for channel switch, the AP/P2P GO
will use eCSA IE in addition to the regular CSA IE both on 2.4 GHz and 5
GHz bands.
Transitions between different hw_modes are not supported.

Proxy ARP allows the AP devices to keep track of the hardware address to
IP address mapping of the STA devices within the BSS. When a request for
such information is made (i.e., ARP request, Neighbor Solicitation), the
AP will respond on behalf of the STA device within the BSS. Such
requests could originate from a device within the BSS or also from the
bridge. In the process of the AP replying to the request (i.e., ARP
reply, Neighbor Advertisement), the AP will drop the original request
frame. The relevant STA will not even know that such information was
ever requested.
This feature is a requirement for Hotspot 2.0, and is defined in IEEE
Std 802.11-2012, 10.23.13. While the Proxy ARP support code mainly
resides in the kernel bridge code, in order to optimize the performance
and simplify kernel implementation, the DHCP snooping code was added to
the hostapd.

For some client OBSS implementations that are performed in
firmware, all OBSS parameters need to be set to valid values.
Do this, as well as supplying the "20/40 Coex Mgmt Support"
flag in the extended capabilities IE.

Subscription remediation notification can now be sent from hostapd with:
hostapd_cli hs20_wnm_notif 02:00:00:00:00:00 http://example.com/foo/

This allows QoS Map Set element to be added to (Re)Association Response
frames and in QoS Map Configure frame. The QoS Mapping parameters are
also made available for the driver interface.

Some extended capabilities (I'm currently interested in "Operating Mode
Notification" for VHT) are implemented by the kernel driver and exported
in nl80211. Use these in hostapd/wpa_supplicant.

Add some more functionality for BSS Transition Management:
- advertise support for BSS Transition Management in extended
capabilities element
- add hostapd.conf parameter bss_transition=1 for enabling support
for BSS Transition Management
- add "hostapd_cli disassoc_imminent <STA> <num TBTTs>" for sending
disassociation imminent notifications for testing purposes
- wpa_supplicant: trigger a new scan to find another BSS if the
current AP indicates disassociation imminent (TODO: the old AP needs
to be marked to use lower priority to avoid re-selecting it)

This allows Probe Request frame processing to compare the configured
SSID to the SSID List element in addition to the SSID element.

If WNM is enabled for the build (CONFIG_WNM=y), add BSS max idle period
information to the (Re)Association Response frame from the AP and parse
this information on the station. For SME-in-wpa_supplicant case, add a
timer to handle periodic transmission of the keep-alive frame. The
actual request for the driver to transmit a frame is not yet
implemented.

In some situations it might be benefical to send a unicast frame without
the need for getting it ACKed (probe responses for example). In order to
achieve this add a new noack parameter to the drivers send_mlme callback
that can be used to advise the driver to not wait for an ACK for this
frame.

hapd->time_adv cannot really be NULL if hostapd_update_time_adv()
returns success, but this construction seems to be too difficult
for some static analyzers. While this change is not really needed
in practice, it makes it easier to go through warnings from such
analyzers.

The Query Response Length Limit is not allowed to be zero when
this is sent by the AP. Use 0x7F to indicate that the limit is
based on maximum number of GAS fragments.
This is the first step in allowing SA Query mechanism in hostapd to be
used with drivers that implement authentication and association MLME/SME
(i.e., do not use ieee802_11.c).
