When a new wiphy is added, the kernel usually adds a default STA
interface as well. This interface is currently not signaled over
nl80211 in any way.
This implements a selective dump of the wiphy interfaces in order to
obtain the newly added netdev. Selective dump is currently not
supported by the kernel, so all netdevs will be returned. A patch on
linux-wireless is pending that implements the selective dump
functionality.

When setting operstate to dormant or down, give it a callback for debug
purposes. It looks like that operstate down message does not have a
chance to go out currently.
The eapol state machine parameters are now built inside device.c when
the network connection is attempted. The reason is that the device
object knows about network settings, wiphy constraints and should
contain the main 'management' logic.
netdev now manages the actual low-level process of building association
messages, detecting authentication events, etc.
Turn netdev watches into device watches. The intent is to refactor out
netdev specific details into its own class and move device specific
logic into device.c away from wiphy.c
