mac80211: introduce channel context skeleton code
Channel context are the foundation for multi-channel operation. They are are immutable and are re-created (or re-used if other interfaces are bound to a certain channel and a compatible channel type) on channel switching. This is an initial implementation and more features will come in separate patches.
