wifi: carl9170: rx: track PHY errors via debugfs
Count PHY errors reported by the hardware in the RX status and expose the counter through debugfs as rx_phy_errors. Previously, PHY errors from ar9170_rx_phystatus were silently ignored (marked with a TODO comment). The counter helps diagnose RF environment issues (interference, multipath, low SNR) without requiring monitor mode or additional tooling.
