band: support band lookup fallback for buggy APs

Browse Source 
Its been seen that some vendors incorrectly set the 3rd byte of the
country code which causes the band lookup to fail with the provided
operating class. This isn't compliant with the spec, but its been
seen out in the wild and it causes IWD to behave poorly, specifically
with roaming since it cannot parse neighbor reports. This then
requires IWD to do a full scan on each roam.

Instead of a hard rejection, IWD can instead attempt to determine
the band by ignoring that 3rd byte and only use the alpha2 string.
This makes IWD slightly less strict but at the advantage of not being
crippled when exposed to poor AP configurations.
