Felix Fietkau d692a2340c mac80211: always use wpa_supplicant for client connections (patch by Stijn Tintel)
Since client mode in mac80211is unreliable without using wpa_supplicant,
it would be better to enable wpa_supplicant by default.

With this patch, wpa_supplicant will always be used for mac80211-based
drivers in client mode. This will break client mode for images that
don't include wpa_supplicant or wpad, so maybe I need to add a check
somewhere to see if wpa_supplicant is available, and show the user a
warning if he tries client mode without wpa_supplicant. Suggestions on
where to add this check are welcome.

Tested with ath5k in client mode on open and wpa2-psk network, and
tested on my ath9k based AP as well to make sure it doesn't break AP mode.
