MAC address and interface name assigned by mac80211.sh depend on the order in
which interfaces are brought up. This order changes when interfaces get added
or removed, which can cause unnecessary reload churn.
One part of the fix it making MAC address allocation more dynamic in both
wpa_supplicant and hostapd, by ignoring the provided MAC address using
the next available one, whenever the config does not explicitly specify one.
The other part is making use of support for renaming netdevs at runtime and
preserving the MAC address for renamed netdevs.

When switching from a STA-only configuration to AP+STA on the same phy, the
STA was previously restarted in order to notify hostapd of the new frequency,
which might not match the AP configuration.
Fix the STA restart by querying the operating frequency from within hostapd
when bringing up the AP.

When the STA is brought up, it is set to DISABLED before adding the bss to ucode,
so the first trigger to disable the AP is missed.

It cannot be properly cloned, since it is attached to the resource type.
Use a separate registry for data. Fixes object confusion issues

An active client mode interface could prevent the AP from claiming its channel
and mess up the bringup sequence order

Drop obsolete control interface patches.
This fixes some corner cases in the previous code where the segment 0 center
frequency was not adjusted properly, leading to logspam and non-working AP
interfaces.
Additionally, shutting down the AP was broken, because the next beacon update
would re-enable it, leading to a race condition on assoc.

This implements vastly improved dynamic configuration reload support.
It can handle configuration changes on individual wifi interfaces, as well
as adding/removing interfaces.
