While trying to set WEP key an invalid key length can be set, but
set command returns "OK". User is unable to know about the invalid WEP
key length. This patch returns "FAIL" so that user can correct WEP key.

v2: Check invalid WEP key length before wpa_config_set() so that existing
functionality of wpa_supplicant to start with configuration file remains
unaffected.
