This patch switches to <linux/ieee80211.h> and <net/cfg80211.h> and
deletes a lot of duplicate definitions plus many unused ones.

Non obvious changes:
- struct ieee80211_ht_cap is different enough that I preferred to keep
(and rename) it for now.
- mcs_rate in translate_scan was not read after being set, so I deleted
that part rather than using the renamed struct
- WLAN_CAPABILITY_BSS is replaced with WLAN_CAPABILITY_ESS which is the
corresponding one with same value

This patch does not apply to the staging repo, current mainline, or wireless-drivers-next. Where did you intend it to go? Staging is the correct tree.
