Reduce delay between Association Request and Association Response

There is a delay between sending Association Response frame after having
received Association Request frame, due to the fact that between
receiving the request and sending the response the Beacon frame contents
is updated, after analyzing inputs from the STA. There may be several
updates if multiple fields need to change. This can cause issues with
some devices in noisy environments with many BSSs and connected STAs.

Optimize this by updating the beacon only once, even if there are
multiple reasons for updates.
