Add support to configure the beacon tx mode as STAGGERED
or BURST mode via hostapd configuration during the AP
bring-up or via wpa_suppplicant configuration during MESH
bring-up.

Beacons can be sent out in burst(continuously in a single shot
one after another) or staggered (equally spread out over beacon
interval) mode.

V5: Addressed Johannes's and Felix's comment on v4.

V4: Rebased on latest ath.git TOT.

V3: Addressed Johnson's comment on v2 patch.

V2: Addressed Johannes's comment on v1 patch.
