mac80211: merge EWMA calculation of minstrel_ht and minstrel

Both rate control algorithms (minstrel and minstrel_ht) calculate
averages based on EWMA. Shift function minstrel_ewma() into
rc80211_minstrel.h and make use of it in both minstrel version.
Also shift the default EWMA level (75%) definition to the header file
and clean up variable usage.
