wifi-scripts: ucode: enable Beacon Protection by default with PMF

The WPA3 and Wi-Fi Enhanced Open Deployment and Implementation Guide
v1.1, Table 4 (Common security configuration) marks Beacon Protection
as MAND for EHT-enabled APs and RECOM otherwise for all WPA3 and
Wi-Fi Enhanced Open modes.

The ucode path blindly passed beacon_prot through from UCI in iface
setup, which ran before encryption and MFP had been configured, and
left hostapd at its insecure default of 0 when the user did not
explicitly opt in.

Default beacon_prot to 1 in iface_mfp after MFP has been confirmed to
be enabled, and emit it there instead of in iface_setup so the option
is only written when PMF support is actually negotiated. Users can
still disable it explicitly via UCI.
