[PATCH] ath10k: Support firmware crash-by-assert.

From: Ben Greear <greearb at candelatech.com>
10.1 firmware does not have an official way to
cause assert on purpose, but it can be done with
carefully crafted WMI command. This is a different
kind of crash from the 'hard' crash, which is
a bad memory dereference.
Different crashes decode in different manners, so
this will help the crash-report testing as well as
offer better ways to test firmware failure and
recovery.
