drivers: wifi: Add support for keepalive

To handle interoperability issue with few APs, add a feature to keep sending keepalive frames periodically to avoid AP disconnecting the STA. This is disabled by default to avoid unnecessary power consumption as it's only seen with few old APs. Signed-off-by: Chaitanya Tata <[email protected]>
