cfg80211: provide channel to start_ap function
Instead of setting the channel first and then starting the AP, let cfg80211 store the channel and provide it as one of the AP settings. This means that now you have to set the channel before you can start an AP interface, but since hostapd/wpa_supplicant always do that we're OK with this change. Alternatively, it's now possible to give the channel as an attribute to the start-ap nl80211 command, overriding any preset channel.
