hostapd: Add config option to specify 6 GHz regulatory AP type

IEEE Std 802.11ax-2021 introduces Regulatory Info subfield to specify
the 6 GHz access point type per regulatory. Add a user config option for
specifying this.

When not specified, Indoor AP type is selected for the 6 GHz AP by
default.
