[RFC 5/8] ath10k: add firmware wmi keep-alive message.

From: Ben Greear <greearb at candelatech.com>

Only useful for CT firmware.

This sends a wmi message to the firmware every 2 seconds or so.
Once CT firmware receives one of these messages, it will assert
if it does not receive more within a 10 second window.

This helps debug and work-around wmi transport hangs.

This is for comment only, as it requires at least minimal CT firmware support
patches in order to compile or work.
