Rewrite the search cycle state machine to use a more data
oriented approach where the different Tx columns (configs)
limitations and next columns to search are reprsented in

several major fixes:

1. Prevent going back to a specific Tx column in a search
cycle if it was already explored.

2. Avoid switching to a Tx column that doesn't have any chance
if it performs perfectly to beat the current throughput we're
getting.

These issues were degrading throughput as they were causing

In 5Ghz this probably caused the Tx to fail completely given

Expected TPT table was updated only when switching to a new
modulation. This is wrong as toggling aggregation changes
the expected TPT signficantly.
This leads to scenarios where turning aggregation on after
being in MIMO sends us back to SISO despite a perfect success
ratio.
This occurred because the TPT of the SISO mode was being
estimated based on aggregation while the MIMO one wasn't.

Also remove an error print which isn't an error anymore
since we might be updating the expected TPT table due
to aggregation changes.
