Enhance select_network() to trigger new scans in some cases

Browse source 
wpa_supplicant select_network() relies on fast_associate to reuse old
scan results. However, this approach does not apply in some cases in
Android:

1 - If the selected network is hidden, and the SSID is in Chinese,
Android switches between fallback SSIDs, necessitating a new scan for
switching between different hidden SSIDs.

2 - Similarly, if the selected SSID is OWE (Opportunistic Wireless
Encryption), and the OWE SSID bands have been changed, select_network()
requires a fresh scan to discover hidden OWE SSIDs.

To address these, enhance select_network() to trigger new scans instead
of relying on fast_associate. This improves network selection behavior
in Android.
