This was inherited from iwlwifi, which drives devices supported by both
iwn(4) and iwm(4) in FreeBSD. In iwm(4) _mvm is meaningless, so remove
it. OpenBSD made the same change a long time ago. No functional change
intended.

* Add a per-vap ps_disabled flag, and use it for a workaround which fixes
an association issue when powersaving is enabled.
* Compute flag that should correpsond to the mvmif->bss_conf.ps flag in
Linux's iwlwifi (e.g. this disallows powersaving when not associated
yet).

* Power management handling is per-vap, not per-node, so we should pass
the iwm_vap in these arguments.

* Store macid and color values in struct iwm_vap, to avoid hardcoded
constants a bit.
* Add iwm_mvm_binding_remove_vif() function (will be used in disconnecting
from an access point without resetting the whole device).
* Not adding code from Linux iwlwifi yet, to handle one PHY context to
be bound to several VAPs/virtual-interfaces, it's definitely not needed
in the near future.

* The DEVICE_POWER_FLAGS_CAM_MSK flag was removed in the upstream iwlwifi
in Linux commit ceef91c89480dd18bb3ac51e91280a233d0ca41f.
* Add sc_ps_disabled flag to struct iwm_softc, which corresponds to
mvm->ps_disabled in struct iwl_mvm in Linux iwlwifi.
* Adds a hw.iwm.power_scheme tunable which corresponds to the power_scheme
module parameter in Linux iwlwifi. Set this to 1 for completely
disabling power management, 2 (default) for balanced powermanagement,
and 3 for lowerpower mode (which does dtim period skipping).
* Imports the constants.h file from iwlwifi as if_iwm_constants.h.
* This doesn't allow changing the powermanagement setting while connected,
also one can only choose between enabled and disabled powersaving with
ifconfig (so switching between balanced and low-power mode requires
rebooting to change the tunable).
* After any changes to powermanagement (i.e. "ifconfig wlan0 powersave" to
enable powermanagement, or "ifconfig wlan0 -powersave" for disabling
powermanagement), one has to disconnect and reconnect to the accespoint
for the change to take effect.

* All the supported firmwares have these flags set.
* This removes the following flags:
IWM_UCODE_TLV_FLAGS_PM_CMD_SUPPORT,
IWM_UCODE_TLV_FLAGS_NEWBT_COEX,
IWM_UCODE_TLV_FLAGS_BF_UPDATED,
IWM_UCODE_TLV_FLAGS_D3_CONTINUITY_API,
IWM_UCODE_TLV_FLAGS_STA_KEY_CMD,
IWM_UCODE_TLV_FLAGS_DEVICE_PS_CMD,
IWM_UCODE_TLV_FLAGS_SCHED_SCAN,
IWM_UCODE_TLV_FLAGS_RX_ENERGY_API,
IWM_UCODE_TLV_FLAGS_TIME_EVENT_API_V2
* Also remove definitions and code for dealing with the v1 time-event api.
* Remove unneeded calc_rssi() function.

Move some declarations to if_iwmreg.h.
Remove iwm_fw_alive(); just call iwm_post_alive() directly.
Simplify iwm_mvm_add_sta().
Return timeout error from iwm_apm_init().
Print a message when init (i.e. boot) firmware fails to load.
Remove some commented-out code which wouldn't compile anyway.
Move iwm_mvm_tx_fifo to if_iwmreg.h to match better where Linux puts it.

connectivity interact with the net80211 stack.
Historical background: originally wireless devices created an interface,
just like Ethernet devices do. Name of an interface matched the name of
the driver that created. Later, wlan(4) layer was introduced, and the
wlanX interfaces become the actual interface, leaving original ones as
"a parent interface" of wlanX. Kernelwise, the KPI between net80211 layer
and a driver became a mix of methods that pass a pointer to struct ifnet
as identifier and methods that pass pointer to struct ieee80211com. From
user point of view, the parent interface just hangs on in the ifconfig
list, and user can't do anything useful with it.
Now, the struct ifnet goes away. The struct ieee80211com is the only
KPI between a device driver and net80211. Details:
- The struct ieee80211com is embedded into drivers softc.
- Packets are sent via new ic_transmit method, which is very much like
the previous if_transmit.
- Bringing parent up/down is done via new ic_parent method, which notifies
driver about any changes: number of wlan(4) interfaces, number of them
in promisc or allmulti state.
- Device specific ioctls (if any) are received on new ic_ioctl method.
- Packets/errors accounting are done by the stack. In certain cases, when
driver experiences errors and can not attribute them to any specific
interface, driver updates ic_oerrors or ic_ierrors counters.
Details on interface configuration with new world order:
- A sequence of commands needed to bring up wireless DOESN"T change.
- /etc/rc.conf parameters DON'T change.
- List of devices that can be used to create wlan(4) interfaces is
now provided by net.wlan.devices sysctl.
Most drivers in this change were converted by me, except of wpi(4),
that was done by Andriy Voskoboinyk. Big thanks to Kevin Lo for testing
changes to at least 8 drivers. Thanks to pluknet@, Oliver Hartmann,
Olivier Cochard, gjb@, mmoll@, op@ and lev@, who also participated in
testing.

There are still several bugs, but I've been using it for a while now.
Thanks to all the testers and to Adrian for his help with this
driver.
This driver isn't connected to the build yet, but it will be soon.
There's no MFC planned because the driver isn't very stable yet.
