wifi: cfg80211: nan: add Instant Communication support

Add NL80211_NAN_CONF_INSTANT_COMM flag to let user space request that
the NAN synchronization logic starts Instant Communication (IC) as
defined in Chapter 13 of the Wi-Fi Aware Specification v4.0.

Add NL80211_NAN_CAPA_INSTANT_COMM for drivers to advertise it. The
capability requires configurable synchronization support, and IC
requests are rejected if it isn't advertised.

When IC is enabled, user space must also configure the discovery
beacon interval. The IC schedule is expected to be configured
by user space.
