[PATCH wireless-next 2/5] wifi: cfg80211: Add helper to pack station-level STA_INFO

Add a helper function nl80211_put_sta_info_common() to pack the
station-level (aggregated) STA information into a netlink message.
This prepares the code for future enhancements such as supporting
fragmented link statistics in nl80211_dump_station.
