Determine whether Beacon frame information is newer in scan results

Browse source 
It can be helpful to know whether the information elements from the
Beacon frame or the Probe Response frame are newer when using BSS table
entries, so make this information known, if available. This allows the
Beacon frame elements to be preferred over the Probe Response frame
elements when desired.
