vht 20mhz mcs 9 1ss packet

Build Information:
Paste the COMPLETE build information from "Help->About Wireshark", "wireshark
-v", or "tshark -v".
--
    VHT 20MHz MCS 9 1/2/3/4 stream data rate not displayed.
    Currently the other illegal MCSs e.g., 80MHz MCS6 when LDPC is not being
used are disaplyed as data rate values.
    Also, VHT 20MHz 3x3 MCS9 is valid which as of now is not computed.
    Changed the rate table to include rate (mbps) for VHT 20MHz MCS9 to have
    consistent behavior among all MCSs, spatial stream combinations.
    Attached a packet capture showing example packet.

The following patch should fix this issue.
