Setting HT capabilities in net80211

[Alexander Egorenkov]

We also need to set/update/delete these capabilities for nodes, e.g. after a
beacon or
a (re)association frame is received from a node. I mean the field ni_flags
in struct ieee80211_node. And ifconfig support would be nice to have in
order to be able to enable/disable these features dynamically.
