mac80211_hwsim: add PMSR report support via virtio

PMSR (a.k.a. peer measurement) is generalized measurement between two
devices with Wi-Fi support. And currently FTM (a.k.a. fine time measurement
or flight time measurement) is the one and only measurement.

Add the necessary functionality to allow mac80211_hwsim to report PMSR
result. The result would come from the wmediumd, where other Wi-Fi
devices' information are kept. mac80211_hwsim only need to deliver the
result to the userspace.

In detail, add new mac80211_hwsim attributes HWSIM_CMD_REPORT_PMSR, and
HWSIM_ATTR_PMSR_RESULT. When mac80211_hwsim receives the PMSR result with
command HWSIM_CMD_REPORT_PMSR and detail with attribute
HWSIM_ATTR_PMSR_RESULT, received data is parsed to cfg80211_pmsr_result and
resent to the userspace by cfg80211_pmsr_report().

To help receive the details of PMSR result, hwsim_rate_info_attributes is
added to receive rate_info without complex bitrate calculation. (i.e. send
rate_info without adding inverse of nl80211_put_sta_rate()).

mac80211_hwsim: add PMSR abort support via virtio

PMSR (a.k.a. peer measurement) is generalized measurement between two
devices with Wi-Fi support. And currently FTM (a.k.a. fine time
measurement or flight time measurement) is the one and only measurement.

Add necessary functionalities for mac80211_hwsim to abort previous PMSR
request. The abortion request is sent to the wmedium where the PMSR request
is actually handled.

In detail, add new mac80211_hwsim command HWSIM_CMD_ABORT_PMSR. When
mac80211_hwsim receives the PMSR abortion request via
ieee80211_ops.abort_pmsr, the received cfg80211_pmsr_request is resent to
the wmediumd with command HWSIM_CMD_ABORT_PMSR and attribute
HWSIM_ATTR_PMSR_REQUEST. The attribute is formatted as the same way as
nl80211_pmsr_start() expects.

mac80211_hwsim: add PMSR request support via virtio

PMSR (a.k.a. peer measurement) is generalized measurement between two
Wi-Fi devices. And currently FTM (a.k.a. fine time measurement or flight
time measurement) is the one and only measurement. FTM is measured by
RTT (a.k.a. round trip time) of packets between two Wi-Fi devices.

Add necessary functionalities for mac80211_hwsim to start PMSR request by
passthrough the request to wmediumd via virtio. mac80211_hwsim can't
measure RTT for real because mac80211_hwsim the software simulator and
packets are sent almost immediately for real. This change expect wmediumd
to have all the location information of devices, so passthrough requests
to wmediumd.

In detail, add new mac80211_hwsim command HWSIM_CMD_ABORT_PMSR. When
mac80211_hwsim receives the PMSR start request via
ieee80211_ops.start_pmsr, the received cfg80211_pmsr_request is resent to
the wmediumd with command HWSIM_CMD_START_PMSR and attribute
HWSIM_ATTR_PMSR_REQUEST. The attribute is formatted as the same way as
nl80211_pmsr_start() expects.

mac80211_hwsim: add PMSR capability support

PMSR (a.k.a. peer measurement) is generalized measurement between two
Wi-Fi devices. And currently FTM (a.k.a. fine time measurement or flight
time measurement) is the one and only measurement. FTM is measured by
RTT (a.k.a. round trip time) of packets between two Wi-Fi devices.

Add necessary functionality to allow mac80211_hwsim to be configured with
PMSR capability. The capability is mandatory to accept incoming PMSR
request because nl80211_pmsr_start() ignores incoming the request without
the PMSR capability.

In detail, add new mac80211_hwsim attribute HWSIM_ATTR_PMSR_SUPPORT.
HWSIM_ATTR_PMSR_SUPPORT is used to set PMSR capability when creating a new
radio. To send extra capability details, HWSIM_ATTR_PMSR_SUPPORT can have
nested PMSR capability attributes defined in the nl80211.h. Data format is
the same as cfg80211_pmsr_capabilities.

If HWSIM_ATTR_PMSR_SUPPORT is specified, mac80211_hwsim builds
cfg80211_pmsr_capabilities and sets wiphy.pmsr_capa.

wifi: move mac80211_hwsim and virt_wifi to virtual directory

To clean up drivers/net/wireless move the virtual drivers to a new virtual
directory. I did consider adding CONFIG_WLAN_VENDOR_VIRTUAL like other vendors
have but then dropped the idea as we are not real drivers.

There should be no changes in compilation or in Kconfig options, merely moving
files. The order in menuconfig is slightly changed, the virtual drivers are now
last in the list.
