[PATCH] D-Bus: Add ConfigFile parameter into the interface properties

Hi, 

Currently, each time interfaces are removed at runtime the parameters
indicated in the configuration file are lost. It is because wpa_supplicant
does not expose the configuration file path in order to allow higher
layer programs to recreate interfaces with the desired configuration.
If the configuration file path can be specify when a new interface is
created, why do not expose it as an interface properties?

A use case of this is when disable Wi-Fi functionalities is a feature
provided by higher layers programs (ConnMan is one of those programs).

What do you think?

Regards,

	Jose Blanquicet
