[PATCH v2] Send CTRL-EVENT-SIGNAL-CHANGE message to control interfaces only

The default logging level for the CTRL-EVENT-SIGNAL-CHANGE message
may be repeated many times and fill the log file or journal.

For example https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2309148 and
the first few results from searching CTRL-EVENT-SIGNAL-CHANGE on the
web contain various complaints and workarounds.

Change the logging method to wpa_msg_ctrl to avoid sending frequent
messages to the syslog but still allow the message to be consumed by
control interface monitors.
