IEEE P802.11be/D3.0, 4.3.16a Extremely high throughput (EHT) STA
requires beacon protection support for an EHT AP, therefore beacon
protection is enabled if IEEE 802.11be is set for BSS

Thanks, applied. I made this conditional on PMF being enabled for now,
but it might be justifiable to extend this area in the future to enable
PMF as well. However, doing that automatically can get a bit more
complex if RSN overriding is used.
