wil6210: add module parameter for alternate interface name

Browse source 
Add a module parameter alt_ifname that when set, will name
the primary network interface wigig<N> instead of the default
wlan<N>. This helps platforms such as android where we need to
clearly separate the WIGIG interface from the default wireless
interface.
