Currently mesh uses mandatory rates as the default basic rates. Allow basic
rates to be configured during mesh join. Basic rates are applied only if
channel is also provided with mesh join command.

Applied, I fixed some whitespace and made it remove rates specification
w/o channel specification. Please check.
