nl80211: support the MAC80211_HWSIM netlink protocol family

The mac80211_hwsim module exposes a custom generic netlink family for
managing simulated phys and userspace data frame transmission.

Since hwsim functionality is closely related to nl80211 and useful to
e.g. manage simulated wireless testbeds, I decided to include support
directly into the nl80211 module.

Example calls for creating and destroying hwsim wiphys:

    nl80211.request(nl80211.const.HWSIM_CMD_NEW_RADIO, 0, {
        perm_addr: "02:11:22:33:44:55",
        support_p2p_device: true
    });

    nl80211.request(nl80211.const.HWSIM_CMD_DEL_RADIO, 0, {
        radio_name: "phy2"
    });
