wil6210: support set_multicast_to_unicast cfg80211 operation



Wil6210 AP has a separate ring for transmitting multicast packets,
multicast packets are transmitted without an ack from the receiver side.
Therefore, 802.11 spec defines some low MCS rates for multicat packets.
However, there is no guarantee that these packets were really received
and handled on the client side.

Some applications that rely on multicast packets, may prefer to
transmit these packets as a unicast to ensure reliability, and also
to ensure better performance with high MCS rates.
multicast to unicast is done by duplicating multicast packets to all
clients and changing the DA (multicast) to the MAC address of the
client.
see NL80211_CMD_SET_MULTICAST_TO_UNICAST for more info.
