HE: Fix invalid length checking for HE Capability element

Browse source 
Do not use the first octet of the PPE Thresholds field without
explicitly confirming that that octet was included in the element.
Furthermore, allow the received element to have additional octets in the
end since IEEE Std 802.11ax-2021 defines this to be an extensible
element and new fields could be added to the end of it in the future.
