hostapd has supported IEEE 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) for over three years. Given
the growing market demand for Wi-Fi 7, it is now an appropriate time to
enable support for IEEE 802.11be Extremely High Throughput (EHT). Note
that CONFIG_IEEE80211AX is a mandatory prerequisite for setting
CONFIG_IEEE80211BE.

This patch also enables the following build-time options in defconfig,
all of which have no runtime impact:
SAE Public Key (SAE_PK)
Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE)
Suite B and Suite B 192
Automatic Channel Selection (ACS)
Multiband Operation (MBO)
