wifi: Fix the compatibility problem of the 11ax std for HE APs and STAs.

Omer Topal requested to merge omerft/ns-3-dev:11axStd-compatibility into master

When I test a basic mixed scenario, in which the AP is a HE capable and the STA is a VHT capable, there is no packet flow due to the compatibility problem. The problem comes from a missed check of HE capability of the peer STA or AP while in association step. It causes a mistake in the supported data mode for the peer.

In the merge request, I have added an additional check of HE supported mode of the Peer to be able to successfully transmit with the supported rates. Note that this problem is indeed left as "todo", but it is very crucial for the mixed deployments.

A simple test scenario can be found in the attachment below: wifi-tcp-MixDebug.cc
