Wireless access point daemon, patched with ubus support

These changes account for situations where the CQM threshold might be approximately the same as the currently received signal, and thus CQM events are triggered often due to measurement error/small fluctuations. This results in scanning occurring too frequently. Firstly, inhibit the immediate scan when the short-scan count is at the maximum. This keeps bursts of CQM toggling from causing a torrent of back-to-back scans. This does not inhibit immediate scans if the CQM triggers a second time (if the signal falls lower past the hysteresis). This reduces the scan rate in the worst case (fast-rate toggling high/low CQM events) to the short scan interval. Secondly, change the behavior of the short scan count so it acts like a "leaky bucket". As we perform short-scans, the bucket fills until it reaches a maximal short-scan count, at which we back-off and revert to a long scan interval. The short scan count decreases by one (emptying the bucket) every time we complete a long scan interval without a low-RSSI CQM event. This reduces the impact of medium-rate toggling of high/low CQM events, reducing the number of short-interval scans that occur before returning to a long-interval if the system was recently doing short scans. |

See README file respective subdirectories (wpa_supplicant/README or hostapd/README) for more details. Source code files were moved around in v0.6.x releases and compared to earlier releases, the programs are now built by first going to a subdirectory (wpa_supplicant or hostapd) and creating build configuration (.config) and running 'make' there (for Linux/BSD/cygwin builds).
