Expand MCS support manual 24–31 range for 4-stream

Update the vwifi_set_bitrate_mask callback to support the full range of MCS indices
24 through 31, aligning with the 4-spatial-stream configuration in nf_band_2ghz.
This change  enabling support for manual MCS from 24-31 coding schemes (1/2, 3/4, 2/3, 5/6)
and modulations (BPSK, QPSK,16-QAM, 64-QAM) as defined by the IEEE 802.11n specification.
The callback now rejects indices outside 24–31, ensuring compliance with 4-stream capabilities and
allowing comprehensive rate testing (26–260 Mbps).

The auto MCS selection ,due to this function is based on only signal strength,
while the MCS should construct with modulation and coding scheme ,which the coding
scheme is related with BER (bite error rate),previous vWiFI only implement
random signal strength.the bit error rate should also based on the channel state info.
