From: Ashok Raj Nagarajan <arnagara@codeaurora.org>

This patch adds support to set transmit power setting type and transmit
power level attributes to NL80211_CMD_SET_STATION in order to facilitate
adjusting the transmit power level of a station associated to the AP.

The added attributes allow selection of automatic and limited transmit
power level, with the level defined in dBm format.

 v2: add txpwr structure
    replaced nla_get_u32 with nla_get_u8/s16
    added NLA_POLICY_RANGE check
 v3: updated kernel-doc for sta_txpwr
     structure and rebased
