[RFC PATCH v4 1/3] mac80211: use AQL airtime for expected throughput.

Since the integration of AQL, packet TX airtime estimation is
calculated and counted to be used for the dequeue limit.

Use this estimated airtime to compute expected throughput for
each station.

It will be a generic mac80211 implementation. that can be used if the
driver do not have get_expected_throughput implementation.

Useful for L2 routing protocols, like B.A.T.M.A.N.
