wifi: mac80211: clean up STA NSS handling

Move ieee80211_sta_init_nss() from VHT code to station code,
and disentangle it from rate control. This way, it becomes
clearer when 'rx_nss' is set up.

While doing this, fix the client side code to set up
link_sta->op_mode_nss instead of link_sta->pub->rx_nss for
the opmode element in association response, and remove the
(now wrong) comment about handling that in the function.
