Updated WE-18 (WPA) proposal

Finally, I had enough time to implement and test the proposed WE-18
(WPA) changes with Host AP driver and wpa_supplicant. This testing was
indeed needed since number of issues showed up. I have made an updated
version of the WE-18 proposal that seems to work with
hostap and wpa_supplicant (current development snapshot from
http://hostap/epitest.fi/). I have not yet verified how much of
interface needed for hostapd could be moved to these new parts of WE-18
instead of the currently used private ioctls.

Since WE-17 has apparently not yet been merged all the way into
linux-2.6 tree, the patch below is against Linux 2.6.8.1 that has been
patched with WE-17 patch (http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/
Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/iw268_we17-10.diff). This should be quite close
to what the final WE-18 would be diffed against. This WE-18 patch is
still experimental and it may still need to be changed (i.e., this
should not yet be merged into linux-2.6).

Change log against the latest WE-18 proposal (http://www.hpl.hp.com/
personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/iw_we18-3.diff):

- replaced optional parameter (iw_point) to SIOCSIWSCAN with a new ioctl
  (SIOCSIWSCANEXT) since the previous design was not really backwards
  compatible (e.g., 'iwlist wlan0 scan' did not work)
- replaced IWEVWPAIE/IWEVRSNIE with more generic IWEVGENIE which can
  also be used with non-WPA (e.g., IEEE 802.11e/WMM) IEs; in addition,
  fixed the type for this event to be IW_HEADER_TYPE_POINT (was _PARAM)
- use larger IW_GENERIC_IE_MAX (256->1024) to be able to handle possible
  needs for future IEEE 802.11 amendments
- added new IW_AUTH_INDEX parameters IW_AUTH_WPA_ENABLED and
  IW_AUTH_RX_UNENCRYPTED_EAPOL that were missing from the functionality
  needed by wpa_supplicant interface
- changed IW_AUTH_WPA_VERSION, IW_AUTH_PAIRWISE_CIPHER,
  IW_AUTH_GROUP_CIPHER, and IW_AUTH_KEY_MGMT to bit fields
- added LEAP to IW_AUTH_80211_AUTH_ALG values
- added IW_ENCODE_EXT_SET_TX_KEY (set key value and mark key as default
  TX key with one ioctl)
- added some more comments to areas that were unclear (have generated
  questions)
- added min_tokens values for SIOCSIWENCODEEXT and SIOCGIWENCODEEXT

Question: is length field in struct iw_point in bytes or tokens
(token_size bytes)? I assumed it was in bytes, but this did not work
very well with WE ioctls that had token_size != 1; I made SIOCSIWSCANEXT
use token_size = 1 for now, but it could be replaced to be
sizeof(struct) and min_tokens=max_tokesn=1 once this question is
resolved.
