Although it is a bit weird, I was thinking to always return the AID as part of the station
dump, and for station netdevs, use the local netdev AID, and for APs, use the remote station AID.

That seems a bit cleaner to me than having two separate ways to get the AID for stations and APs,
but I can do two separate ways if you prefer that.
I don't really agree that it's cleaner - by definition, the data in a
station is data about that station, not data about "self".

We may not have a great way right now to show the latter ('data about
self')? But I still don't think we should mix it.
