cfg80211: Add support for userspace to reset stations in IBSS mode
Sometimes, userspace is able to detect that a peer silently lost its state (like, if the peer reboots). wpa_supplicant does this for IBSS-RSN by registering for auth/deauth frames, but when it detects this, it is only able to remove the encryption keys of the peer and close its port. However, the kernel also hold other state about the station, such as BA sessions, probe response parameters and the like. They also need to be resetted correctly. This patch adds the NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_DEL_IBSS_STA feature flag indicating the driver accepts deleting stations in IBSS mode, which should send a deauth and reset the state of the station, just like in mesh point mode.
