cfg80211: return private regdom for self-managed devices

If a device has self-managed regulatory, insist on returning the wiphy specific regdomain if a wiphy-idx is specified. The global regdomain is meaningless for such devices. Also add an attribute for self-managed devices, so usermode can distinguish them as such.
