wifi: hostap: experiment with rts_threshold = -1

Project Member Reported by kirtika@chromium.org, Jun 3 2018 
snanda@ educated me that disabling rts/cts in the wificell/bluetest chamber should buy us some throughput gains when trying to hit peak throughput. 
Our hostap conf file uses rts_threshold=2347, which used to mean "disabled" at some point, but now appears to be "use driver default".
Apparently "-1" is now used for disabled. Experiment with -1 and see if it makes a difference.

Looks like the -1 change only applies to hostapd-2.6 and our whirlwind images are stuck on 2.5.

Per the old version rts_threshold=2347 should disable rts, but we should check with an OTA sniffer if that is really true for suite:wifi_perf
