rS306142: [iwm] use rate control info from the node txrates; use mgmtrate for EAPOL frames

Summary

This changes the transmit rate control code to do a few things:

use fixed rates (mcast, ucast, mgmt) where required
Don't use a hard-coded 11a or 11bg rate for non-data frames - use what net80211 says we should use
use mgmtrate for EAPOL frames.

Looks good to me.

P.S. As I can see, WME is not implemented properly and may cause problems; should it be disabled?
