ath9k: use ap style beaconing for mesh

Chun-Yeow and Javier Lopez contributed these changes to make mesh mode use the more similar AP beaconing mode and queue parameters. Should improve PS performance, interface concurrency (AP modes can coexist), and beacon interval stability. AR9271 (ath9k_htc) mesh interfaces also need to be in AP operating mode.
