nl80211: Parse channel type attribute in an ibss join request

Prepare cfg80211 for IBSS HT:
 * extend cfg80211 ibss struct with channel_type
 * Check if extension channel can be used
 * Export can_beacon_sec_chan for use in mac80211 (will be called
   from ibss.c later).

Signed-off-by: Alexander Simon <an.alexsimon@googlemail.com>
[siwu@hrz.tu-chemnitz.de: Updates]
* fix cfg80211_can_beacon_ext_chan comment
* remove implicit channel_type enum assumptions
* remove radar channel flags check
* add HT IBSS feature flag
* reword commit message
