mac80211: add PID controller based rate control algorithm

Add a new rate control algorithm based on a PID controller. It samples the
percentage of failed frames over time, feeds the result into the controller and
uses its output to control the TX rate.

This option enables a TX rate control algorithm for
mac80211 that uses a PID controller to select the TX
rate.
Say Y unless you're sure you want to use a different
