libertas: add asynchronous firmware loading capability
As described at
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/86084
libertas is taking a long time to load because it loads firmware
during module loading.
Add a new API for interface drivers to load their firmware
asynchronously. The same semantics of the firmware table are followed
like before.
Interface drivers will be converted in follow-up patches, then we can
remove the old, synchronous firmware loading function.
