wifi: mac80211: Support Tx of action frame for NAN

Add support for sending management frame over a NAN Device
interface:

- Declare support for the supported management frames types.
- Since action frame transmissions over a NAN Device interface
do not necessarily require a channel configuration, e.g., they
can be transmitted during DW, modify the Tx path to avoid
accessing channel information for NAN Device interface.
- In addition modify the points in the Tx path logic to account
for cases that a band is not specified in the Tx information.
