iwlagn: implement loading a new firmware file type

The old firmware file type does not allow indicating
any firmware capabilities, which we frequently want
to make things easier.

This implements a new firmware type that is based on
a TLV structure, and adds a TLV for the maximum length
of probe requests in scans.

* new TLV uCode file layout

* different instruction image with different capabilities,
* bundled with the same init image, an alternative mechanism
* is provided:
* When the alternative field is 0, that means that the item

* to use.
