wireless: allow Atheros card to not depend on ath.ko

There are 2 different things:
- sub-menu for "Atheros Wireless cards" family
- module ath.ko with common Atheros code

Until now, they both used to depend on the same Kconfig variable ATH_COMMON.
Thus, being "Atheros card" and "depending on ath.ko" was the same.

To allow module to belong to the
"Atheros Wireless cards" family but not use ath.ko,
2 conditions above need to be separated.

So, this patch introduce new Kconfig variable ATH_CARDS for belonging
to the "Atheros Wireless Cards" family; while ATH_COMMON becomes hidden
variable to express dependency on common Atheros code in ath.ko. Modules
that depend on this common code now express it by setting ATH_COMMON.

Right now, ath6kl do not depend on common code and thus do not set ATH_COMMON.

ath9k_hw: make bluetooth coexistence support optional at compile time

Many systems (e.g. embedded systems) do not have wifi modules connected to
bluetooth modules, so bluetooth coexistence is irrelevant there. With the
addition of MCI support, ath9k picked up quite a bit of extra code that
can be compiled out this way.

This patch redefines ATH9K_HW_CAP_MCI and adds an inline wrapper for
querying the bluetooth coexistence scheme, allowing the compiler to
eliminate code that uses it, with only very little use of #ifdef.

On MIPS this reduces the total size for the modules by about 20k.

wireless: Default to 'n' for 2 new added devices in Kconfig.

We make oldconfig every time when a new kernel arrives, but
if we don't have such a device(I guess this is the most common
case for a new device), the default value should be 'n' so
that the kernel size we build doesn't grow up too much quickly.
For anyone who has the device, it is OK for them to turn it on
by themselves.

ath9k: introduce ATH9K_{PCI,AHB} config options

Currently ath9k only available in menuconfig if PCI bus
support is enabled. However the driver is required for
the built-in wireless MACs of the Atheros AR9130/AR9132
SoCs. These SoCs have no PCI controller, the wireless
MAC is connected to the AHB bus on them.

Introduce separated config options for the supported
buses, in order to allow building of ath9h without PCI
bus support.

As a bonus, this patch removes the cross-reference of
the ATHEROS_AR71XX option which is not present in the
kernel.

ath9k_common: add new module to share 802.11n driver helpers

ath9k and ath9k_htc share a lot of common hardware characteristics.
They only differ in that ath9k_htc works with a target CPU and ath9k
works directly with the hardware. ath9k_htc will do *some* things in
the firmware, but a lot of others on the host.

The common 802.11n hardware code is already shared through the ath9k_hw
module. Common helpers amongst all Atheros drivers can use the ath module,
this includes ath5k and ar9170 as users. But there is some common driver
specific helpers which are not exactly hardware code which ath9k and
ath9k_htc can share. We'll be using ath9k_common for this to avoid
bloating the ath module and the common 802.11n hardware module ath9k_hw.

We start by sharing skb pre and post processing in preparation for a hand
off to mac80211.

invisible for user menuconfig configuration. If either
