Hmm.. This does not look correct to me. p2p_persistent_group is really
used only internally and I think it would be unwanted extra complexity
for existing configuration files to assume this is something that would
need to be set in existing persistent group entries. In addition, I
don't think it is good idea to expose option to clear
ssid->p2p_persistent_group from 1 to 0 (or the other direction, for that
matter) through the control interface.

The network entries used for persistent group credentials already have a
clear identifier: disabled=2. It would sound more convenient to set
ssid->p2p_persistent_group = 1 automatically based on the network block
having been stored with ssid->disabled == 2.
