wifi: ath12k: configure firmware thermal throttling via WMI

Browse source 
Ath12k firmware supports thermal-throttling but requires the host to explicitly
program throttle levels and mitigation actions via WMI. Without this configuration,
firmware-driven thermal mitigation remains inactive or relies on platform-specific
defaults.

Add host-side support to build and send thermal-throttle configuration using
WMI_THERM_THROT_SET_CONF_CMDID during MAC radio start, ensuring thermal parameters
are programmed before data traffic begins.

Maintain per-radio storage for thermal throttle levels and provide conservative
default level tables for Internal Power Amplifier Device (IPA) and External Power
Amplifier Device or External Front End Module (XFEM) targets. The appropriate
default table is selected based on firmware-advertised service bits, allowing the
host to align with target thermal mitigation capabilities. If the WMI TLV service
WMI_TLV_SERVICE_IS_TARGET_IPA bit is set, then host selects the thermal throttle
values from IPA index from the table and selects values from XFEM index from the
table if this WMI TLV service bit is not set.

Build and send the thermal throttle configuration request with either 4 or
5 levels depending on firmware capability, and populate optional fields
(pout reduction and tx chain mask) only when the corresponding service bits
are advertised.
