From: Ben Greear <greearb at candelatech.com>
Allow doing X bss_transition_mgmt_query calls before falling back to
scan.
Example format to do 4 btm before attempting a scan: bgscan="simple:30:-65:300:4"
Signed-off-by: Ben Greear <greearb at candelatech.com>

v2: Check ext capabilities before trying BTM query
Schedule new timeout in case we do BTM query.
