Add support for Network cost information element for 802.11

Microsoft has defined an information element for 802.11 beacon/probe responses which describes the cost of using the network — whether it’s metered or not (and how).

It would be useful for NetworkManager to be able to read this and set the NMMetered state on a connection as appropriate. Secondly, it would be useful to broadcast that information element when sharing a metered connection over Wi-Fi.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
