[PATCH v3 1/3] wifi: cfg80211: add support to enable/disable bss color collision detection

[Rameshkumar Sundaram]

As per 802.11ax-2021, STAs shall process BSS Color Change Announcement
(BCCA) from AP and switch to new color, but some STAs aren't processing
BCCA from AP and not doing color switch, causing them to drop data
frames from AP post color change.

Provide an option to disable color collision detection and therefore
not to do BCCA to mitigate the same from AP. If it's required in case
where STA supports BCCA handling, then it can enabled in AP using this
option.
