hostapd: Add ability to disable HT/VHT/HE per BSS

Add the ability to disable HT/VHT/HE for specific BSS from hostapd.conf.

- Add disable_11ax boolean to hostapd_bss_config.
- Change disable_11n and disable_11ac to bool in hostapd_bss_config.
- Add configuration option to set these disable_11* parameters
  (which were previously used only automatically based on incompatible
  security parameters to disable HT/VHT).
