nl80211: Fix NL80211_MESHCONF_AUTO_OPEN_PLINKS encoding

Browse source 
This nl80211 attribute uses NLA_U8 policy in cfg80211 and wpa_supplicant
needs to use same size when writing the attribute.

This fixes mesh mode regression triggered by kernel commit "net:
netlink: Update attr validation to require exact length for some types"
in v4.15-rc1 that resulted in the following debug log entry when trying
to join a mesh:
nl80211: mesh join failed: ret=-22 (Invalid argument)

Fixes: 6c1664f605 ("nl80211: Add new commands to support mesh interfaces")
