Implement basic 802.11n awareness in the PHY and AMRR rate control code.
* Add 802.11n 2ghz and 5ghz tables, including legacy rates and up to MCS23 rates (3x3.)
* Populate the rate code -> rate index lookup table with MCS _and_ normal rates, but _not_ the basic rate flag. Since the basic rate flag is the same as the MCS flag, we can only use one.
* Introduce some accessor inlines that do PLCP and rate table lookup/access and enforce that it doesn't set the basic rate bit. They're not designed for MCS rates, so it will panic.
* Start converting drivers that use the rate table stuff to use the accessor inlines and strip the basic flag.
* Teach AMRR about basic 11n - it's still as crap for MCS as it is being used by iwn, so it's not a step _backwardS_.
* Convert iwn over to accept 11n MCS rates rather than 'translate' legacy to MCS rates. It doesn't use a lookup table any longer; instead it's a function which takes the current node (for HT parameters) and the rate code, and returns the hardware PLCP code to use.
Tested:
* ath - it's a no-op, and it works that way * iwn - both 11n and non-11n

Update PLCP<->rate mapping support: o correct mapping of CCK rates to PLCP; was using nonstandard Ralink values which just happened to also be used by Zydas (so went unnoticed) o change ieee80211_plcp2rate api to take a phy type instead of a flag that indicates ofdm/!ofdm o update drivers to match (restore per-driver code to map rate->PLCP)
