With the addition of connect_bssid/roam very few tests actually
require hwsim. Since hwsim can lead to problems with scan results
its best to have it off by default and have each test that needs
it explicitly turn it on.
Tests which previously turned it off have had that option removed.
Tests that do require hwsim still are vulnerable to scan result
problems, so for these tests beacon_int was added to the hostapd
config which seems to help with reliability somewhat.
Every single roaming test had one of two problems with watching the
state change between roaming --> connected. Either the test used
wait_for_object_condition to wait for 'connected' which could allow
other states in between. Or it simply used an assert. The assert
wouldn't allow other state changes, but at the cost of potentially
failing due to IWD not having made it to the 'connected' state yet.
Now we have wait_for_object_change which takes two conditions:
initial (from_str) and expected (to_str). This API will not allow
any other conditions except these, and will wait for the expected
condition before continuing. This allows roaming test to reliably
wait for the roaming --> connected state change.
After the test-runner re-write many tests were left with
stale options that are no longer used at all. These were
periodically getting removed as changes were made to
individual tests, but its apparent now that a tree wide
removal was needed.
