[PATCH v2 09/20] WNM: Clean up old scan data processing

From: Benjamin Berg <benjamin.berg at intel.com>
When receiving a BTM request, wpa_s would try to fetch new results from
the driver, and, independently of that, would also process the latest
scan results that were partially updated by the previous fetch.
Simplify the logic by using wpa_supplicant_get_scan_results directly and
then processing the old scan data as usual. However, this data may be
outdated, so add a new heuristic to avoid roaming to a BSS if it is
either outdated or bad.
Doing this moves all scan data processing into wnm_scan_process.
