[MAC80211]: improve radiotap injection

This improves radiotap injection by removing the shortcut over TX handlers
that led to BUGS when injecting frames without setting a rate and also
resulted in various other quirks. Now, TX handlers are run but some
information that was present in the radiotap header is used instead of
automatic settings.

 Despite 13 radiotap argument types are currently defined, most only make sense
-to appear on received packets.  Currently three kinds of argument are used by
-the injection code, although it knows to skip any other arguments that are
-present (facilitating replay of captured radiotap headers directly):
+to appear on received packets.  The following information is parsed from the
+radiotap headers and used to control injection:
 
- - IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_RATE - u8 arg in 500kbps units (0x02 --> 1Mbps)
+ * IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_RATE
 
- - IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_ANTENNA - u8 arg, 0x00 = ant1, 0x01 = ant2
+   rate in 500kbps units, automatic if invalid or not present
 
- - IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_DBM_TX_POWER - u8 arg, dBm
+
+ * IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_ANTENNA
+
+   antenna to use, automatic if not present
+
+
+ * IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_DBM_TX_POWER
+
+   transmit power in dBm, automatic if not present
+
+
+ * IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_FLAGS
+
+   IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_F_FCS: FCS will be removed and recalculated
+   IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_F_WEP: frame will be encrypted if key available
+   IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_F_FRAG: frame will be fragmented if longer than the
+			      current fragmentation threshold. Note that
+			      this flag is only reliable when software
+			      fragmentation is enabled)
+
+The injection code can also skip all other currently defined radiotap fields
+facilitating replay of captured radiotap headers directly.
