RFC 1/1 add Mesh Point support to ath5k

This patch enables draft-802.11s Mesh Point operation. For that we need mesh beaconing. This seems to work fine when tested against a Zydas interface but I would appreciate it if someone who knows ath5k could check this over. My hardware is an AR5212/AR5213 PCI card.
