…ed and basic rates

All we ever wanted to achieve with supported and basic rates was disabling 802.11b. In the meantime OpenWrt provides¹ the legacy_rates option to accomplish exactly that. This obsoletes the need for configurable basic and supported rates, as neither 802.11a nor 802.11g are considered as harmful as 802.11b. Their "slowness" will instead be mitigated through airtime fairness in a future release.

This patchset makes use of the obsoletion check feature in #1702.

This is used to validate mcast_rate entries, I've removed all 802.11b rates here.

Do we even need a site.conf option for this? I'd prefer to just hardcode disabling legacy rates.

Agreed, dropped.
