[PATCH] AP: enable H2E on 6GHz when SAE is used

Even if the use of H2E isn't strictly mandatory when using SAE on 6Ghz, WPA3
personnal pushes it on 6GHz.
So lets automatically enable it by setting sae_pwe=2. This will allow both the
hunting-and-pecking and hash-to-element to work (and be backward compatible)
