wpa_msg() calls at MSG_DEBUG level do not show up in the control
interface by default. In theory, it would be possible to change the
level, but I think I managed to break that operation at some point on
the UNIX domain socket interface.. ;-)

I don't see much need for adding new wrappers for debug messages, but I
would prefer wpa_dbg() to be used instead of wpa_msg() when the message
is at MSG_DEBUG (or below) level and is not really meant for anything
parsing messages from the control interface. The main benefit here is
that wpa_dbg() strings can be easily compiled out from the binary to
minimize size requirements while wpa_msg() cannot be handled that easily
since it is needed for ctrl_iface to work properly.
