Add a note on using 'iw list' to determine multi-BSS support

This adds a pointer to hostapd.conf to using 'iw list' with the current
nl80211 drivers to determine supported interface combinations.

# Not all drivers support multiple BSSes. The exact mechanism for determining
# the driver capabilities is driver specific. With the current (i.e., a recent
# kernel) drivers using nl80211, this information can be checked with "iw list"
# (search for "valid interface combinations").
#
# Please note that hostapd uses some of the values configured for the first BSS
# as the defaults for the following BSSes. However, it is recommended that all
# BSSes include explicit configuration of all relevant configuration items.
