[RFC 10/14] ath9k: Fix RTS/CTS rate selection

[Sujith Manoharan]

The current method of assigning the RTS/CTS rate is completely
broken for HT mode and breaks P2P operation. Fix this by using
the basic_rates provided to the driver by mac80211. For now,
choose the lowest supported basic rate for HT frames.
