wifi: ath12k: add QMI capability negotiation for dynamic memory mode

Browse source 
On AHB platforms, firmware operates in two modes: fixed-memory mode where
firmware uses hardcoded addresses for memory regions such as BDF and does
not request HOST_DDR memory from the host, and dynamic-memory mode where
firmware expects the host to provide memory addresses including HOST_DDR
after the Q6 read-only region and relies on host allocation for all memory
types.

Introduce QMI capability negotiation to support both modes. Add a new QMI
PHY capability flag dynamic_ddr_support which is advertised by firmware to
indicate it supports dynamic memory mode. When the host detects this
capability, set the dynamic_mem_support flag in the host capability message
to signal the host is ready to provide dynamic memory allocation. This
triggers firmware to send the HOST_DDR memory request and use the
host-provided address.

For backward compatibility, if firmware doesn't advertise
dynamic_ddr_support, the firmware continues to operate in fixed-memory mode
where firmware uses predefined addresses.
