Toke Høiland-Jørgensen ef7217518b hostapd: Add airtime policy configuration support
This adds support to hostapd for configuring airtime policy settings for
stations as they connect to the access point. This is the userspace
component of the airtime policy enforcement system PoliFi described in
this paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.03439

The Linux kernel part has been merged into mac80211 for the 5.1 dev
cycle.

The configuration mechanism has three modes: Static, dynamic and limit.
In static mode, weights can be set in the configuration file for
individual MAC addresses, which will be applied when the configured
stations connect.

In dynamic mode, weights are instead set per BSS, which will be scaled
by the number of active stations on that BSS, achieving the desired
aggregate weighing between the configured BSSes. Limit mode works like
dynamic mode, except that any BSS *not* marked as 'limited' is allowed
to exceed its configured share if a per-station fairness share would
assign more airtime to that BSS. See the paper for details on these
modes.

/* Idea:
* Two modes of airtime enforcement:
* 1. Static weights: specify weights per MAC address with a per-BSS default
* 2. Per-BSS limits: Dynamically calculate weights of backlogged stations to
* enforce relative total shares between BSSes.
*
* - Periodic per-station callback to update queue status.
*
* Copy accounting_sta_update_stats() to get TXQ info and airtime weights and
* keep them updated in sta_info.
*
* - Separate periodic per-bss (or per-iface?) callback to update weights.
*
* Just need to loop through all interfaces, count sum the active stations (or
* should the per-STA callback just adjust that for the BSS?) and calculate new
* weights.
