carl9170: import hw/fw header updates

This patch imports all shared header changes
from carl9170fw.git.

* add some strategic __aligned(4).
This allows the compiler generate optimized code for
architectures which can't access (unaligned/packed)
data efficiently.
("ath9k_hw: optimize all descriptor access functions")

* add a forgotten __CARL9170FW__ ifdef around
a private firmware-internal struct.

* GET_VAL macro helper
Very useful for extracting data out of the
bit-packed PHY registers.

* cosmetic changes
e.g.: _CCA_MINCCA_ to just _CCA_MIN_.

* version bump 1.8.8.3 -> 1.9.0.

carl9170: support firmware-based rx filter

The hardware rx-filter was essentially disabled, because
of a serve, yet unidentifiable problem with iwlagn.
Due to these circumstances the driver and mac80211 were
left with the job of filtering.

This is very unfortunate and has proven to be expensive
in terms of latency, memory and load.

Therefore the new 1.8.8.3 firmware introduces a flexible
filtering infrastructure which allows the driver to
offload some of the checks (FCS & PLCP crc check,
RA match, control frame filter, etc...) whenever possible.

Note:
This patch also includes all changes to the
shared headers files since the inclusion.
