auto-t: fix hostapd.ungraceful_restart

Restarting hostapd from python was actually leaking memory and
causing the hostapd object to stay referenced in python. The
GLib timeout in wait_for_event was the ultimate cause, but this
had no come to light because no tests restarted hostapd then
used wait_for_event.

In addition, any use of wait_for_event after a restart would
cause an exception because the event socket was never re-attached
after hostapd restarted.

Now we properly clean up the timeout in wait_for_event and
re-initialize the hostapd object on restart.
