mac80211: Add capability to enable/disable beaconing
This patch adds a flag to notify drivers to start and stop beaconing when needed, for example, during a scan run. Based on Sujith's first patch to do the same, but now disables beaconing for all virtual interfaces while scanning, has a separate change flag and tracks user-space requests.
