The optional -G<group> command line argument can be used to specify the
group that can access the global control interface.

wpa_supplicant is started from /init.*.rc on Android and that seems
to be using umask 0077 which would leave the control interface
directory without group access. This breaks things since Wi-Fi
framework assumes that this directory can be accessed by other
applications in the wifi group. Fix this by adding group access even
if umask value would prevent this.
In most cases, this issue was not hit since the control interface
directory is normally created by that same init.*.rc file with suitable
mode and wpa_supplicant is killed in the way that does not allow it to
remove the file. However, if wpa_supplicant is allowed stop cleanly, it
will remove the directory and the next start could result with the Wi-Fi
framework not being able to use Wi-Fi (and GUI not showing Wi-Fi getting
enabled).

These bursts can result in control interface monitors being detached
even if the external program is still working properly. Use much larger
error threshold for ENOBUFS to avoid this.
This patch allows wpa_supplicant to compile on Debian's kfreebsd
architectures.
Patch by Stefan Lippers-Hollmann based on work done by Petr Salinger
and Emmanuel Bouthenot for 0.6.X (http://bugs.debian.org/480572).
When using umask 0077, the control interface directory was left without
group read/execute permissions even if the configuration file explicitly
asked for the group to be allowed to access the control interface. Fix
this by adding read/execute permissions for group if a specific group is
defined in the configuration. [Bug 199]
Removing just sun_family is not portable since some systems (e.g.,
FreeBSD) include an additional sun_len field. Using offsetof should be
portable. In addition, set sun_ken for FreeBSD.
