station: rate limit packet loss roam scans

Browse Source 
The packet loss handler puts a higher priority on roaming compared
to the low signal roam path. This is generally beneficial since this
event usually indicates some problem with the BSS and generally is
an indicator that a disconnect will follow sometime soon.

But by immediately issuing a scan we run the risk of causing many
successive scans if more packet loss events arrive following
the roam scans (and if no candidates are found). Logs provided
further.

To help with this handle the first event with priority and
immediately issue a roam scan. If another event comes in within a
certain timeframe (2 seconds) don't immediately scan, but instead
rearm the roam timer instead of issuing a scan. This also handles
the case of a low signal roam scan followed by a packet loss
event. Delaying the roam will at least provide some time for packets
to get out in between roam scans.

Logs were snipped to be less verbose, but this cycled happened
5 times prior. In total 7 scans were issued in 5 seconds which may
very well have been the reason for the local disconnect:
