staging: wilc1000: Refactor handling of HT caps fields

This is not the first attempt to address this problem:
    https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/7/808

First, the current code works because the final use of the
ht_capa values (in host_interface.c: WILC_HostIf_PackStaParam) packs them
into a buffer in little-endian format. Since this matches the byte-order of
struct ieee80211_ht_cap, all is seemingly well.

What the current code does not do, and what these warnings expose, is
clearly communicate what the fields in struct add_sta_param
represent -- values with a specific (little endian) byte order.
This will lead to problems if the values are ever actually used by the
host, and that host is not little endian.

The proposed change addresses this by embedding a
struct ieee80211_ht_cap into struct add_sta_param.  When the values
are later packed out, the newly embedded struct is copied directly
into the outbound buffer.  All 16 and 32 bit types are treated as
little endian and marked as such.  Future use of the values by the
host would still require conversion, or sparse would flag them again.

The following items are required for this to be correct:
    1.  The data is not currently used by the host.
    2.  struct ieee80211_ht_cap is packed.
    3.  The packing of the fields matches the order in
        struct ieee80211_ht_cap.

This is similar, I believe, to how the same data is handled in
marvell/mwifiex/11n.c.

Test-compiled/loaded against staging-next on x86_64
Test-compiled against staging-next for ARM.
Applied/built against staging-testing.

Testing consists of compilation for the above trees/targets, and a
sparse check, no functional testing.
