Petr Štetiar 0a3ec87a66 hostapd: update to latest Git hostap_2_9-1238-gdd2daf0848ed
Bump package to latest upstream Git HEAD which is commit dd2daf0848ed
("HE: Process HE 6 GHz band capab from associating HE STA"). Since last
update there was 1238 commits done in the upstream tree with 618 files
changed, 53399 insertions, 24928 deletions.

I didn't bothered to rebase mesh patches as the changes seems not
trivial and I don't have enough knowledge of those parts to do/test that
properly, so someone else has to forward port them, ideally upstream
them so we don't need to bother anymore. I've just deleted them for now:

Subject: [PATCH] set mcast_rate in mesh mode
The wpa_supplicant code for IBSS allows to set the mcast rate. It is
recommended to increase this value from 1 or 6 Mbit/s to something higher
when using a mesh protocol on top which uses the multicast packet loss as
indicator for the link quality.
This setting was unfortunately not applied for mesh mode. But it would be
beneficial when wpa_supplicant would behave similar to IBSS mode and set
this argument during mesh join like authsae already does. At least it is
helpful for companies/projects which are currently switching to 802.11s
(without mesh_fwding and with mesh_ttl set to 1) as replacement for IBSS
because newer drivers seem to support 802.11s but not IBSS anymore.
