Instead of simply counting up until we hit a free iface, group ifnames by wiphy so that the first wlanX on a phy gets the phy number
and following ifaces an index-suffix, e.g. wlan0 for network 1 on phy 1 and wlan0-1 for network 2 on phy 1.
This fixes state var confusion when operating multiple radios and allows to reliably take down and restart one radio only, even if
the number of networks changes in between. This should, along with other changes in LuCI, fix#10335.

This introduces beacon_int and basic_rate (per wifi-device), and
dtim_period and max_listen_int (per wifi-iface) for mac80211. These
configure the beacon interval, basic rate specification, DTIM period
(one DTIM per this many beacon frames), and maximum listen interval
that a STA will be permitted to associate with. All of the new
settings are optional; if they're absent, the existing hostapd (or, in
the case of basic_rate, driver) defaults will be used.
The existing bintval property only used for type adhoc is moved from
wifi-iface to wifi-device, and is renamed to beacon_interval because
bintval isn't a great name. The beacon interval is property of the
wifi-device; while the choice between wifi-device and wifi-iface may
not be relevant with an adhoc network, there's no reason to configure
the same property one way for type adhoc and another for type ap. This
change isn't expected to cause many problems, as bintval was added
recently, in r25111.
Similarly, the list of basic rates, also added for type adhoc in
r25111, is a property of the device and not the interface. Further, it
ought to be represented in UCI as a list, not a string dependent on
the format that iw uses. I’ve moved it onto the device, renamed it to
basic_rate, and made it configurable for APs via hostapd. Finally, I
adapted it to use the same kb/s representation as mcast_rate; there's
precedent for this format in that it's also how madwifi interprets
mcast_rate.
Neither bintval nor basicrates were ever documented in the UCI
wireless configuration page on the wiki. When this change is
committed, I'll update the documentation as needed.

Add new options 'bintval' (beacon interval), 'basicrates' (basic rates) and
'antenna' (antenna selection) for /etc/config/wireless to be used with
mac80211 drivers.
Enable WEP encryption for IBSS mode.

Add support of mac address filter. Now 'macfilter' and 'maclist' options
can be used with mac80211.

sometimes an interface does not get added to the bridge properly
this seems to be a race of interface setup vs wpa_supplicant
fix this by configuring the interface only after wpa_supplicant has been started

Since client mode in mac80211is unreliable without using wpa_supplicant,
it would be better to enable wpa_supplicant by default.
With this patch, wpa_supplicant will always be used for mac80211-based
drivers in client mode. This will break client mode for images that
don't include wpa_supplicant or wpad, so maybe I need to add a check
somewhere to see if wpa_supplicant is available, and show the user a
warning if he tries client mode without wpa_supplicant. Suggestions on
where to add this check are welcome.
Tested with ath5k in client mode on open and wpa2-psk network, and
tested on my ath9k based AP as well to make sure it doesn't break AP mode.
