Different devices have different size of phy calibration table; add
new TLV to specify the size. If the TLV is not part of uCode header, the
default table size will be used to make sure the backward
compatibilities.

This bit need to be set for both RTS/CTS or CTS-to-self protection, if
CTS-to-self is used, then uCode will check the RXON_FLG_SELF_CTS_EN
status. Change the name from TX_CMD_FLG_RTS_CTS_MSK to TX_CMD_FLAG_PROT_REQUIRE_MSK
to match the behavior of the bit setting.
Also update comments to reflect which hardware uses which of the TX command
flags.

When building tx command, always set TX_CMD_FLAG_PROT_REQUIRE_MSK
for 5000 series and up.
Without setting this bit the firmware will not examine the RTS/CTS setting
and thus not send traffic with the appropriate protection. RTS/CTS is is
required for HT traffic in a noisy environment where, without this setting,
connections will stall on some hardware as documented in the patch that
initially attempted to address this:

iwlwifi: Fix throughput stall issue in HT mode for 5000
Similar to 6000 and 1000 series, RTS/CTS is the recommended
protection mechanism for 5000 series in HT mode based on the HW design.
Using RTS/CTS will better protect the inner exchange from interference,
especially in highly-congested environment, it also prevent uCode encounter
TX FIFO underrun and other HT mode related performance issues.
For 3945 and 4965, different flags are used for RTS/CTS or CTS-to-Self
protection.

Chain noise calibration data are cleared after the calibration is done
in iwlagn_gain_computation() and iwl4965_gain_computation(). This cause
the debugfs entries for those data useless. To provide valid debugging
info, clear those data right before starting the calibration instead.

This patch enables all remaining 6000 series Gen2 devices.
To work-around a firmware crash problem, we disable sending
bt coex command for 6000g2b series devices.

Scan requesting doesn't need to be asynchronous
since all code paths leading up to it can sleep.
Make the scan request a new util operation that
is hw-specific (to account for 3945 vs. agn)
and call it right in place.
This patch moves a lot of code into iwlagn as
it need not be in iwlcore.
