nl80211: Configure Beacon frame TX rate if driver advertises support

Browse source 
If the driver advertises support for setting Beacon frame data rate,
allow the user to configure this rate as part of starting the AP. Only
one Beacon frame TX rate is allowed.

Drivers advertising such support should set corresponding flag via the
NL80211_ATTR_EXT_FEATURES attribute.
