Add support to switch channel when CAC is in progress

Browse source 
Prior to initiating communication on a DFS channel, channel availability
check needs to be performed. During this period, the AP does not beacon.
Hence, no channel switch was allowed during this period. However, if a
user wishes to switch to a non-DFS channel during the potentially long
CAC period and start transmission immediately, there is no provision to
do that currently.

Extend the existing CHAN_SWITCH control interface command to allow
channel switch even when the AP is in CAC state. To do this, first
disable the interface to abort the CAC in progress and then configure
the interface with the new parameters and finally re-enable the
interface.
