firmware depending of the host connection method.

Some WiFi/Bluetooth modules might have different host connection
options, allowing to either use SDIO for both WiFi and Bluetooth,
or SDIO for WiFi and UART for Bluetooth. It is possible to detect
whether a module has SDIO-SDIO or SDIO-UART connection by reading
its host strap register.
This change introduces a way to automatically select appropriate
firmware depending of the connection method, and removes a need
of symlinking or overwriting the original firmware file with a
required one.
Host strap register used in this commit comes from the NXP driver [1]
hosted at Code Aurora.

I had a look at the cards supported by mwifiex, and it seems that the SD8987
also supports this strapping detection [1]. Could you perhaps add the same
.host_strap_{reg,mask,value} settings to mwifiex_reg_sd8987?
