device: Transition to selected BSS if FT supported

Browse Source 
With this patch an actual fast transition should happen when the signal
strength goes low but there are still various details to be fixed before
this becomes useful:

 * the kernel tends to return cached scan results and won't update the
   rssi values,
 * there's no timer to prevent too frequent transition attempts or to
   retry after some time if the signal is still low,
 * no candidate other than the top ranked BSS is tried.  With FT it
   may be impossible to try another BSS anyway although there isn't
   anything in the spec to imply this.  It would require keeping the
   handshake_state around after netdev gives up on the transition
   attempt.
