iwlwifi: clean up queue/fifo handling
4965 hardware has 7 queues reserved and the remaining ones used for aggregation, 5000 and higher need to have 10 reserved. This is not very clear in the code right now, unfortunately. Introduce a new IWL_TX_FIFO_UNUSED constant and make the queue/FIFO mapping arrays able to hold that value, and change the setup code to reserve all queues in the arrays (the queue number is the index) and use the new unused constant to not map those queues to any FIFO. Additionally, clear up the AC/queue mapping code to be more understandable. The mapping is the identity mapping right now, but with the mapping function I think it's easier to understand what happens there. Finally, HCCA isn't implemented at all and I think newer microcode removed it, so let's remove all mention of it in the code, some comments remain for 4965.
