wifi: mac80211: Advertise IEEE 802.1X authentication support

Browse source

Advertise support for IEEE 802.1X authentication protocol directly from
mac80211, without depending on driver indication of (Re)Association
frame encryption capability.

As specified in "IEEE P802.11bi/D4.0, clauses 12.16.5 and 12.16.8.2",
IEEE 802.1X authentication can operate with or without (Re)Association
frame encryption support. Therefore, mac80211 can safely advertise
802.1X support independently of driver capabilities.
