Add support to use a random local address for authentication and deauthentication frames if the driver supports. The driver needs to configure receive behavior to accept frames with random transmit address specified in TX path authentication frames during the time of the frame exchange is pending and such frames need to be acknowledged similarly to frames sent to the local permanent address when this random address functionality is used. This is required for below cases: - Enabling use of randomized transmit address for PASN authentication frames improve privacy of WLAN clients. - If NL80211_CMD_EXTERNAL_AUTH triggered for MLO connection userspace needs to use link address as transmit address when sending SAE authentication frames. Drivers may use transmit address different from interface address but since NL80211_CMD_EXTERNAL_AUTH may get triggered before association kernel won't have the device's link addresses by that time. Drivers can use this feature to allow external authentication frames with link address before association.
