band: Add a utility to estimate VHT rx data rate
This function is meant to supercede a similar function in ie.c. The current approach results in very optimistic data rate estimates since it only takes into account the VHT/HT Capabilities IEs. It does not take into account any local hardware limitations (such as no VHT/HT support), limited RX MCS sets & number of spatial streams. It also does not take into account that the AP might not be actually operating on higher bandwidth channels. This function is meant to address that by matching peer TX MCS sets with the local hardware RX MCS set capability. It also takes into account channel bandwidth capabilities of the local hardware, as well as whether the AP is actually operating on a wider channel.
