wifi: cfg80211: add feature flag for (re)association frame encryption

Introduce an extended feature flag that allows drivers to signal
support for encryption of (Re)Association Request and Response frames
in both non-AP STA and AP mode, as specified in specification
"IEEE P802.11bi/D3.0, 12.16.6".
