{nl,mac}80211: report gate connectivity in station info

Capture the current state of gate connectivity from the mesh formation field in mesh config whenever we receive a beacon, and report that via GET_STATION. This allows applications doing mesh peering in userspace to make peering decisions based on peers' current upstream connectivity.
