wifi: brcmfmac: allow per-vendor event handling

The firmware interface also defines events generated by
firmware on the device. As the get/set primitives the
events are likely to diverge between the vendors so this
commit adds support for per-vendor handling. The number
of events may differ so we let the vendor-specific code
allocate the struct brcmf_fweh_info which contains array
of event handlers. The existing event enumeration will be
used by the higher layers and thus are common definitions.
The vendor-specific code can provide a mapping table for
converting the common definition to the vendor-specific
firmware event definition and vice-versa.

wifi: brcmfmac: Demote vendor-specific attach/detach messages to info

People are getting spooked by brcmfmac errors on their boot console.
There's no reason for these messages to be errors.

wifi: brcmfmac: cfg80211: Use WSEC to set SAE password

Using the WSEC command instead of sae_password seems to be the supported
mechanism on newer firmware, and also how the brcmdhd driver does it.

The existing firmware mechanism intended for (some) Cypress chips has
been separated from the new firmware mechanism using the multi-vendor
framework. Depending on the device it will select the appropriate
firmware mechanism.

This makes WPA3 work with iwd, or with wpa_supplicant pending a support
patchset [2].

wifi: brcmfmac: add support for Cypress firmware api

Cypress uses the brcmfmac driver and releases firmware which will
likely diverge over time (or already has). So adding support for
handling that.
