Users may need information about the expected throughput towards a given peer computed by the RC algorithm. Export such value in Mbps/100 through the get_station() API. This unit has been chosen because it is the same of the throughput returned by MinstrelHT.
This information will be useful to the batman-adv module which will use it for its new metric computation.

Changes since the RFC: - Change all the station_info_flags to use BIT() - Properly comment about the unit used by the throughput value - added new ieee80211_ops.get_expected_throughput() API (to support drivers having HW RC) - improved doc about new cfg80211_get_station() function - minor cleanups
