I merged in couple of the clear cases from the temporary mesh branch
into the master branch.

This has been split into multiple commits. Couple went in now, rest are
in the mesh branch. Most of the remaining ones would benefit from a bit
more detailed commit message.

This went in.

This went in with some additional cleanup and a test-aes.c addition of a
test vector from RFC 5297.

I split this into separate commits since this seemed to be mixing in
various changes. I'd like to get the main SAE implementation changes
merged in once they do not cause issues for the existing non-mesh case.
I thought that was already a case, but once I looked at the test runs
more closely, one issue came up. This is noted in the mesh branch
commit:

FIX: This breaks SAE-on-non-mesh-AP case. SAE_COMMITTED handler in
sae_sm_step() sends out two Authentication frames which is not used in
non-mesh case. The non-mesh exchange is: STA->AP tr#1, AP->STA tr#1,
STA->AP tr#2, AP->STA tr#2. This patch changes the second step to be
AP->STA tr#1 and tr#2 (that final tr#2 is still included in the end)

I'm not sure how this could be fixed cleanly taken into account the
somewhat difficult SAE state machine design from the view point of the
strange exchange for non-mesh case. Maybe just skipping
auth_sae_send_confirm() + setting state to SAE_CONFIRMED from
SAE_NOTHING handler for non-mesh cases(?).

Following remains in the temporary mesh branch after today's merge into
the master branch:
