In P2P client mode, the GO (AP) to connect to might
have periods of time where it is not available due
to powersave. To allow the driver to sync with them
and send frames to the GO only when it is available
add a new callback prepare_auth_assoc (and also the
corresponding finish_auth_assoc). They are invoked
for each authentication/association as described in
the documentation.

Doesn't anybody have comments on this?

I can't really decide whether I want to change the bss_config flow to
maybe set the BSSID first and add a preauth flag there or something, or
use this way. This way certainly has less impact on existing drivers...
