In order to give the usermode an ability to configure
scan channel times, and as it required for the beacon
reports in the 802.11k standard.
Add to the scan command min/max channel times. Add
min/max passive channel times, since a single scan
can contain both passive and active channels due to
regulatory constraints.

v2:
New NL80211_FEATURE_SCAN_TIMES.
Move the default scan times from mac to cfg.
Handle the default scan times also for wext.
