P2P: Do not use old scan result data for peer discovery

Browse source 
The driver may have cached (e.g., in cfg80211 BSS table) the scan
results for relatively long time. To avoid reporting stale information,
update P2P peers only based on results that have based on frames
received after the last p2p_find operation was started.

This helps especially in detecting when a previously operating GO stops
the group since the BSS entry for that could live for 30 seconds in the
cfg80211 cache. Running p2p_flush followed by p2p_find will now allow
wpa_supplicant to not add a P2P peer entry for that GO if the group had
been terminated just before that p2p_flush command. Previously, that GO
could have been indicated as a newly found device for up to 30 seconds
after it had stopped the group.
