ath: Incorrect regDomainPairs/allCountries settings

Hi,

I just had two inquiries from Vietnam and Singapore regarding the used CTL 
limits by Atheros based chips. I've checked through the code and noticed that 
regd_common.h assigns SG to APL6_WORLD and VN to NULL1_WORLD.

 * SG: APL6_WORLD
   - 2.4GHz: CTL_ETSI
   -   5GHz: CTL_ETSI
 * VN: NULL1_WORLD
   - 2.4GHz: CTL_ETSI
   -   5GHz: NO_CTL

But I personally would have expected that both countries would be assigned to 
FCC3_WORLD.

 * FCC3_WORLD
   - 2.4GHz: CTL_ETSI
   -   5GHz: CTL_FCC

Maybe someone from QCA can check with their internal driver.

I have compared the current ath/regd_common.h with what I would have expected 
(which might not be correct after all). I still wanted to list the things 
which I found:

Entries which most likely shouldn't exist in CountryCode:

Things which I missed in the EnumRd:

 * FCC11_WORLD = 0x19,

 * APL13_WORLD = 0x5A,
 * APL10_WORLD = 0x5F,


The new mappings in regDomainPairs for the used EnumRds would then be:
