ieee802154: Add support for user beaconing requests
Parse user requests for sending beacons, start sending beacons at a regular pace. If needed, the pace can be updated with a new request. The process can also be interrupted at any moment. The page and channel must be changed beforehands if needed. Interval orders above 14 are reserved to tell a device it must answer BEACON_REQ coming from another device as part of an active scan procedure and this is not yet supported. A netlink "beacon request" structure is created to list the requirements. Mac layers may now implement the ->send_beacons() and ->stop_beacons() hooks.
