wireless: Require HANDLE_DFS flag to switch channel for non-AP mode
In the case the channel should be switched to one requiring DFS we need to make sure that userspace will handle radar events when they happen. For AP mode this is assumed to be the case, as a manager like hostapd is required. However IBSS and MESH modes can work without further userspace assistance, so refuse to use DFS channels unless userspace vouches that it handles DFS. NOTE: Userspace should have already flagged support earlier during mesh or IBSS setup. However, this information is not readily accessible currently.
