[PATCH] Treat '' in SSIDs param of DBus Interface.Scan as a request for braodcast scan.

[Daniel Kurtz]

This patch changes wpa_supplicant policy for handling '' in SSIDs field of Interface.SSID DBus message.
It treats '' (zero-length) SSID as a request for a broadcast scan, instead of ignoring it.

This patch updates DBus API .Scan() logic per the test cases listed below:

1) Interface.Scan({'Type':'active', 'Channel':(2412, 20)})
   Request:     Active scan with only '' SSID (1 channel)
   Should be:   1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
   Previous:    1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
   This Patch:  1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel

2) Interface.Scan({'Type':'active', 'Channel':(2412, 20), 'SSIDs':['']})
   Request:     Active scan with only '' SSID (1 channel)
   Should be:   1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
   Previous:    No ProbeRequests; passive scan results for specified channel
   This Patch:  FIXED: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel

3) Interface.Scan({'Type':'active', 'Channel':(2412, 20), 'SSIDs':['MySSID']})
   Request:     Active scan with only non-'' SSIDs (1 channel)
   Should be:   1 directed ProbeRequest for each SSID on specified channel, no broadcast ProbeRequest
   Previous:    1 directed ProbeRequest for each SSID on specified channel, no broadcast ProbeRequest
   This Patch:  1 directed ProbeRequest for each SSID on specified channel, no broadcast ProbeRequest

4) Interface.Scan({'Type':'active', 'Channel':(2412, 20), 'SSIDs':['', 'MySSID']})
   Request:     Active scan with SSIDs, including 1 '' SSID (1 channel)
   Should be:   1 broadcast ProbeRequest, 1 directed ProbeRequest for each non-'' SSID on specified channel
   Previous:    1 directed ProbeRequest for each non-'' SSID on specified channel
   This Patch:  FIXED: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest, 1 directed ProbeRequest for each non-'' SSID on specified channel
