mac: info: interface: add basic support

Hi,

this patch series add support for setting lbt mode and dump phy parameters and mac interface parameters.

Each interface "could" have different mac parameters, because the mac sublayer means mac algorithmn which are done by phy. These parameters need to be the same on each interface. There are couple of mac sublayer parameters like ARET, CSMA, promiscuous mode, etc... These parameters will be changed if an interface will comming up, otherwise it's there but not running. Solution to run this device with different parameter is first down all others interfaces and then up the interface with the different parameters. (Difficult to explain maybe it's clear when you play a little bit with that).

PHY settings will directly set registers to the driver. There is no mac functionality. Only physical changes in radio frequency handling.

dump example for phy pib:

root@DistroKit:~ iwpan phy
wpan_phy phy0
supported channels:

        page 0: 11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26 

current_page: 0
current_channel: 26
cca_mode: 1
tx_power: 3

dump example for mac pib:

phy#0

        Interface mon0
                ifindex 5
                wpan_dev 0x2
                extended_addr 0x0000000000000000
                short_addr 0xffff
                pan_id 0xffff
                type monitor
                max_frame_retries 3
                max_be 5
                max_csma_backoffs 4
                min_be 3
                lbt 0
        Interface wpan0
                ifindex 2
                wpan_dev 0x1
                extended_addr 0xaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
                short_addr 0xffff
                pan_id 0xabcd
                type node
                max_frame_retries 3
                max_be 5
                max_csma_backoffs 4
                min_be 3
                lbt 0

I know there are a lot of other pib values. I don't forget these but it need time to support it. I am still getting a state in the rework like mainline state.

Also it looks a little bit ugly but we can still change it for the wpan-tools. :-)
