I think I added it as the first entry since it takes less processing to
check the match through it than NAI Realm List. That said, there may be
need for some changes in interworking_connect() to address the preferred
credential selection for the case where more than a single credential
would match with the selected BSS. That roaming consortium match is not
the only potential issue in this.

This will likely need to go through all credential matches and selected
the highest priority one somewhat similarly to what is done in
interworking_select_network()..

This should likely be handled similarly to
interworking_select_network(), too, to allow the home network preference
to be used for the case of multiple credential matches.
