d91494eedf hostapd: rework frequency/ht/vht selection for ibss/mesh
- Remove obsolete patch chunks regarding fixed_freq
- Instead of patching in custom HT40+/- parameters, use the standard
config syntax as much as possible.
- Use fixed_freq for mesh
- Fix issues with disabling obss scan when using fixed_freq on mesh

43f66943d0 hostapd: set mcast_rate in mesh mode
The wpa_supplicant code for IBSS allows to set the mcast rate. It is
recommended to increase this value from 1 or 6 Mbit/s to something higher
when using a mesh protocol on top which uses the multicast packet loss as
indicator for the link quality.

This setting was unfortunately not applied for mesh mode. But it would be
beneficial when wpa_supplicant would behave similar to IBSS mode and set
this argument during mesh join like authsae already does. At least it is
helpful for companies/projects which are currently switching to 802.11s
(without mesh_fwding and with mesh_ttl set to 1) as replacement for IBSS
because newer drivers seem to support 802.11s but not IBSS anymore.
