wifi: mt76: mt7996: remove beacon_int_min_gcd from ADHOC interface combinations
The driver fails to register with error -22 (EINVAL) due to a cfg80211
validation failure in wiphy_verify_iface_combinations().
Commit 5ef0e8e2653b ("wifi: mt76: mt7996: fix iface combination for
different chipsets") added beacon_int_min_gcd to if_comb_global and
if_comb_global_7992, but these combinations include ADHOC (IBSS)
interface type. This violates a cfg80211 rule from commit 56271da29c52
("cfg80211: disallow beacon_int_min_gcd with IBSS") that explicitly
forbids combining ADHOC with beacon_int_min_gcd.
The restriction exists because beacon_int_min_gcd requires static,
predictable beacon intervals to coordinate multiple beaconing interfaces,
but ADHOC interfaces have dynamic beacon intervals that change when
joining different networks, making the GCD constraint unenforceable.
Remove beacon_int_min_gcd from the interface combinations that include
ADHOC because they are not necessary for ADHOC operation. The if_comb
combination (AP/MESH/STA only, without ADHOC) correctly retains
beacon_int_min_gcd for multi-AP coordination.
