Add a QCA vendor attr to disable auto resume beacon reporting

The driver automatically starts beacon reporting if it pauses the beacon
reporting for any reason other than disconnection. In specific cases,
userspace may not want the beacon reporting to be automatically resumed
after a pause. Add interface support for userspace to specify driver not
to start beacon reporting automatically after a pause.
