Now that b40c52682a256 ("config: T2636: get_config_dict() returns a list on
multi node by default") is implemented the workarounds can be removed.

The current VyOS CLI parser code written in Python contains a ton of duplicates
which I can also hold myself accountable for - or maybe mainly me - depends on
the angle of judge.

Yet, VyOS knows these two encryption schemes for WiFi:
1. CCMP = AES in Counter mode with CBC-MAC (CCMP-128)
2. TKIP = Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
These encryption schemes are new and especially the Galois counter mode
cipher suites are very desirable!
1. CCMP-256 = AES in Counter mode with CBC-MAC with 256-bit key
2. GCMP = Galois/counter mode protocol (GCMP-128)
3. GCMP-256 = Galois/counter mode protocol with 256-bit key
CCMP is supported by all WPA2 compatible NICs, so this remains the
default cipher for bidirectional and group packets while using WPA2.
Use 'iw list' to figure out which cipher suites your cards support
prior to configuring other cipher suites than CCMP. AP NICs and
STA NICs must both support at least one common cipher in a given
list in order to associate successfully.

Use WiFi modes ieee80211ac and ieee80211n if VHT capabilities are optional.
ieee80211n = 1
ieee80211ac = 1
Use only ieee80211ac if VHT capabilities are required (ieee80211n=0).
ieee80211ac = 1
ieee80211n = 0
require_vht = 1
In order to make this decision, the desired WiFi operation mode needs to be
known. Therefore, we must require users to set the WiFi mode.
mode = (a|b|g|n|ac)

VHT flags deal with many variables which depend on antenna count and
supported features. BF-ANTENNA-(2|3|4) and SOUNDING-DIMENSION-(2|3|4)
were not dealt with correctly.
IEEE 802.11ac (VHT) supports at least 1 antenna and up to 8 antennas
at most. The hsotapd VHT flags may support as many but most do not.
Therefore, we need to be picky here...
