Vendor command to query the supported AKMs from the driver

This new QCA vendor command is used to query the supported AKM suite
selectors from the driver. There has been no such capability indication
from the driver and thus the current user space has to assume the driver
to support all the AKMs. This may be the case with some drivers (e.g.,
mac80211-based ones) but there are cfg80211-based drivers that implement
SME and have constraints on which AKMs can be supported (e.g., such
drivers may need an update to support SAE AKM using
NL80211_CMD_EXTERNAL_AUTH). Allow such drivers to specify the exact set
of supported AKMs so that user space tools can determine what network
profile options should be allowed to be configured. This command returns
the list of supported AKM suite selectors in the attribute
NL80211_ATTR_AKM_SUITES.
