iwlwifi: mvm: add option that allows a vif to disable PS
We need to disable PS when a monitor vif is active or, in the future,
when a channel switch is happening. Add a boolean to mvmvif that
allows PS to be disabled generically. Additionally, make the monitor
interface use this new flag when it gets activated.
