abstract priv_check() for iee80211 and add more arguments to allow a NetBSD
kauth based implementation

The kernel authorization system in NetBSD is (optionally) quite fine grained
and needs a bit more data to take decisions. This creates an ifdef mess in my
adaption of the FreeBSD wifi stack, but it could be easily avoided with a minor
change similar to the attached patch.

The definitions for the macro should move to the OS specific header (so only
the FreeBSD definition in ieee80211_freebsd.h), I left them all together so the
reason for the change is more obvious.
