cfg80211: Allow drivers to advertise supported AKM suites
There was no such capability advertisement from the driver and thus the
current user space has to assume the driver to support all the AKMs. While
that may be the case with some drivers (e.g., mac80211-based ones), there
are cfg80211-based drivers that implement SME and have constraints on
which AKMs can be supported (e.g., such drivers may need an update to
support SAE AKM using NL80211_CMD_EXTERNAL_AUTH). Allow such drivers to
advertise the exact set of supported AKMs so that user space tools can
determine what network profile options should be allowed to be configured.
