iwlagn: implement loading a new firmware file type

The old firmware file type does not allow indicating
any firmware capabilities, which we frequently want
to make things easier.

This implements a new firmware type that is based on
a TLV structure, and adds a TLV for the maximum length
of probe requests in scans.
