cfg80211: regulatory introduce maximum bandwidth calculation

Browse source 
In case we will get regulatory request with rule
where max_bandwidth_khz is set to 0 handle this
case as a special one.

If max_bandwidth_khz == 0 we should calculate maximum
available bandwidth base on all frequency contiguous rules.
In case we need auto calculation we just have to set:

country PL: DFS-ETSI
        (2402 - 2482 @ 40), (N/A, 20)
        (5170 - 5250 @ AUTO), (N/A, 20)
        (5250 - 5330 @ AUTO), (N/A, 20), DFS
        (5490 - 5710 @ 80), (N/A, 27), DFS

This mean we will calculate maximum bw for rules where
AUTO (N/A) were set, 160MHz (5330 - 5170) in example above.
So we will get:
        (5170 - 5250 @ 160), (N/A, 20)
        (5250 - 5330 @ 160), (N/A, 20), DFS

In other case:
country FR: DFS-ETSI
        (2402 - 2482 @ 40), (N/A, 20)
        (5170 - 5250 @ AUTO), (N/A, 20)
        (5250 - 5330 @ 80), (N/A, 20), DFS
        (5490 - 5710 @ 80), (N/A, 27), DFS

We will get 80MHz (5250 - 5170):
        (5170 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 20)
        (5250 - 5330 @ 80), (N/A, 20), DFS

Base on this calculations we will set correct channel
bandwidth flags (eg. IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_80MHZ).

We don't need any changes in CRDA or internal regulatory.
