When it comes to set some BSS's beacon, there are two reasons to
update the beacon of co-located hostapd_iface(s) at the same time:
1. 6 GHz out-of-band discovery
2. MLD operational parameters update
BSS load update is unrelated with the above two reasons, and therefore
is not the case to update beacon for co-location. Moreover, updating
beacon for co-location when BSS load update makes hostapd set beacon too
frequently, which makes hostapd busy setting beacon in a multi-BSS case.
Add a new function to update beacon only for current BSS and use the
function during BSS load update.

This allows external programs to get the average channel utilization.
The average channel utilization is calculated and reported through
STATUS command. Users need to configure chan_util_avg_period and
bss_load_update_period in hostapd config to get the average channel
utilization.

Recalculate the timeout value for each event instead of calculating this
once and then not allowing the timeout configuration to be changed
without fully stopping and restarting the interface.
This allows the bss_load_update_period configuration parameter to be
modified while a BSS continues operating.

The new "bss_load_update_period" parameter can be used to configure
hostapd to advertise its BSS Load element in Beacon and Probe Response
frames. This parameter is in the units of BUs (Beacon Units).
When enabled, the STA Count and the Channel Utilization value will be
updated periodically in the BSS Load element. The AAC is set to 0 sinze
explicit admission control is not supported. Channel Utilization is
calculated based on the channel survey information from the driver and
as such, requires a driver that supports providing that information for
the current operating channel.
