wifi: mac80211: remove TDLS peers on link deactivation

If a link is deactivated, we really cannot sustain any
TDLS connections on that link any more. With the API
now changed, fix this issue and remove TDLS connections.

wifi: cfg80211/mac80211: move puncturing into chandef

Aloka originally suggested that puncturing should be part of
the chandef, so that it's treated correctly. At the time, I
disagreed and it ended up not part of the chandef, but I've
now realized that this was wrong. Even for clients, the RX,
and perhaps more importantly, CCA configuration needs to take
puncturing into account.

Move puncturing into the chandef, and adjust all the code
accordingly. Also add a few tests for puncturing in chandef
compatibility checking.

wifi: mac80211: introduce 'channel request'

For channel contexts, mac80211 currently uses the cfg80211
chandef struct (control channel, center freq(s), width) to
define towards drivers and internally how these behave. In
fact, there are _two_ such structs used, where the min_def
can reduce bandwidth according to the stations connected.

Unfortunately, with EHT this is longer be sufficient, at
least not for all hardware. EHT requires that non-AP STAs
that are connected to an AP with a lower bandwidth than it
(the AP) advertises (e.g. 160 MHz STA connected to 320 MHz
AP) still be able to receive downlink OFDMA and respond to
trigger frames for uplink OFDMA that specify the position
and bandwidth for the non-AP STA relative to the channel
the AP is using. Therefore, they need to be aware of this,
and at least for some hardware (e.g. Intel) this awareness
is in the hardware. As a result, use of the "same" channel
may need to be split over two channel contexts where they
differ by the AP being used.

As a first step, introduce a concept of a channel request
('chanreq') for each interface, to control the context it
requests. This step does nothing but reorganise the code,
so that later the AP's chandef can be added to the request
in order to handle the EHT case described above.

wifi: mac80211: don't allow deactivation of all links

wifi: mac80211: add a driver callback to check active_links

During ieee80211_set_active_links() we do (among the others):
1. Call drv_change_vif_links() with both old_active and new_active
2. Unassign the chanctx for the removed link(s) (if any)
3. Assign chanctx to the added link(s) (if any)
4. Call drv_change_vif_links() with the new_active links bitmap

The problem here is that during step #1 the driver doesn't know whether
we will activate multiple links simultaneously or are just doing a link
switch, so it can't check there if multiple links are supported/enabled.
(Some of the drivers might enable/disable this option dynamically)

And during step #3, in which the driver already knows that,
returning an error code (for example when multiple links are not
supported or disabled), will cause a warning, and we will still complete
the transition to the new_active links.
(It is hard to undo things in that stage, since we released channels etc.)

Therefore add a driver callback to check if the desired new_active links
will be supported by the driver or not. This callback will be called
in the beginning of ieee80211_set_active_links() so we won't do anything
before we are sure it is supported.

wifi: mac80211: handle debugfs when switching to/from MLO

In MLO, we have a per-link debugfs directory which contains the
per-link files. In case of non-MLO we would like to put the per-link
files in the netdev directory to keep it how it was before MLO.

- Upon interface creation the netdev will be created with the per-link
files in it.
- Upon switching to MLO: delete the entire netdev directory and then
recreate it without the per-link files. Then the per-link directories
with the per-link files in it will be created in ieee80211_link_init()
- Upon switching to non-MLO: delete the entire netdev directory
(including the per-link directories) and recreate it with the per-link
files in it.

Note that this also aligns to always call the vif link debugfs
method for the deflink as promised in the documentation, which
wasn't done before.
