An AP MLD is expected to answer a multi-link probe request with the
per-STA profiles of the requested APs. Not all AP MLDs do so, and a
non-AP MLD then has to discover the information for those links some
other way. hostapd always includes the requested profiles, so that case
cannot be covered by the hwsim test cases.

Add a testing option that leaves the requested per-STA profiles out of
the multi-link probe response. The Basic Multi-Link element with the
common information of the responding AP is still included, which is what
was observed from an AP MLD that does not honor the Per-STA Profile
subelements of a Probe Request Multi-Link element.
