    cfg80211: implement wext key handling · 08645126

    Move key handling wireless extension ioctls from mac80211 to cfg80211
    so that all drivers that implement the cfg80211 operations get wext
    compatibility.
    
    Note that this drops the SIOCGIWENCODE ioctl support for getting
    IW_ENCODE_RESTRICTED/IW_ENCODE_OPEN. This means that iwconfig will
    no longer report "Security mode:open" or "Security mode:restricted"
    for mac80211. However, what we displayed there (the authentication
    algo used) was actually wrong -- linux/wireless.h states that this
    setting is meant to differentiate between "Refuse non-encoded packets"
    and "Accept non-encoded packets".
    
    (Combined with "cfg80211: fix a couple of bugs with key ioctls". -- JWL)
