From: "Kanchanapally, Vidyullatha" <vkanc...@qti.qualcomm.com>
The driver extended capabilities may differ for different
interface types which the userspace needs to know (for
example the fine timing measurement initiator and responder
bits might differ for a station and AP). Add a new nl80211
attribute to provide extended capabilities per interface type
to userspace.

v2:
* Split NL80211_ATTR_IFTYPE_EXT_CAPA into multiple messages for each
interface.
* Add check to warn if the globally advertised capabilities are not
advertised on all possible interface types.
