wifi: mac80211: add AQL support for multicast packets

Excessive multicast traffic with little competing unicast traffic can easily
flood hardware queues, leading to throughput issues. Additionally, filling
the hardware queues with too many packets breaks FQ for multicast data.
Fix this by enabling AQL for multicast packets.
