[Battlemesh] Limit minimum bitrate

[Mitar]

Hi!

I had in mind AP mode, for clients. But interesting to learn about IBSS
join as well.

But I really think it is useful to be limit the minimum bitrate. It is
strange for me that is not easily available. Am I missing something? Is
it not a good idea?
