eapol: Relax GTK 1/2 msg Key Length validation

Browse Source 
Since caab23f192085e6c8e47c41fc1ae9f795d1cbe86 hostapd is going to set
this bit to zero for RSN networks but both values will obviously be in
use.  Only check the value if is_wpa is true - in this case check the
value is exactly 16, see hostapd commit:

Set EAPOL-Key Key Length field to 0 for group message 1/2 in RSN

P802.11i/D3.0 described the Key Length as having value 16 for the group
key handshake. However, this was changed to 0 in the published IEEE Std
802.11i-2004 amendment (and still remains 0 in the current standard IEEE
Std 802.11-2016). We need to maintain the non-zero value for WPA (v1)
cases, but the RSN case can be changed to 0 to be closer to the current
standard.
