mac80211: Accept auto txpower setting

Browse source

This changes the SIWTXPOWER ioctl to also accept a txpower setting of
"automatic". Since mac80211 currently cannot tell drivers to automatically
adjust tx power, we select the tx power level of the current channel. While
this is kind of a hack, it certainly saves some iwconfig users from headaches.
