ath5k: use noise calibration from madwifi hal

This updates ath5k to calibrate the noise floor similar to the
way it is done in the madwifi hal and ath9k.  Of note:

- we start NF measurement at the same time as AGC calibration,
  but do not actually read the value until the periodic (long)
  calibration
- we keep a history of the last few values read and write the
  median back to the hardware for CCA
- we do not complain if NF calibration isn't complete, instead
  we keep the last read value.
