This series updates the legacy STATUS indications for VHT/HE
associations.

Patch 1 derives the existing ieee80211ac=1 STATUS indication from the
already parsed connection_vht state instead of separately looking only
at the Association Response VHT Capabilities element.

Patch 2 adds a corresponding ieee80211ax=1 STATUS indication based on
the already parsed connection_he state.

Unlike v1, these indications are kept non-exclusive. wifi_generation is
the exclusive generation indication, while ieee80211ac/ieee80211ax
indicate whether the corresponding VHT/HE capability is part of the
association.

v2:
- Do not clear ieee80211ac for HE/EHT associations.
- Do not clear ieee80211ax for EHT associations.
- Keep ieee80211ac/ieee80211ax non-exclusive and use wifi_generation as
  the exclusive generation indication.

  wpa_supplicant: Derive ieee80211ac status from connection_vht
  wpa_supplicant: Add ieee80211ax status indication
