Add preliminary background scan and roaming module design This allows background scanning and roaming decisions to be contained in a single place based on a defined set of notification events which will hopefully make it easier to experiment with roaming improvements. In addition, this allows multiple intra-ESS roaming policies to be used (each network configuration block can configure its own bgscan module). The beacon loss and signal strength notifications are implemented for the bgscan API, but the actual events are not yet available from the driver. The included sample bgscan module ("simple") is an example of what can be done with the new bgscan mechanism. It requests periodic background scans when the device remains associated with an ESS and has couple of notes on what a more advanced bgscan module could do to optimize background scanning and roaming. The periodic scans will cause the scan result handler to pick a better AP if one becomes available. This bgscan module can be taken into use by adding bgscan="simple" (or bgscan="simple:<bgscan interval in seconds>") into the network configuration block.

/*
* WPA Supplicant - background scan and roaming interface
bgscan: Add signal strength change events This allows bgscan modules to use more information to decide on when to perform background scans. bgscan_simple can now change between short and long background scan intervals based on signal strength and in addition, it can trigger immediate scans when the signal strength is detected to be dropping. bgscan_simple takes following parameters now: short interval:signal strength threshold:long interval For example: bgscan="simple:30:-45:300"
