[PATCH] Bump DEFAULT_BSS_MAX_COUNT to 1000

Many congested areas have more than 200 APs in range
of a typical device. When the number of APs exceeds
BSS_MAX_COUNT, even nearby APs can be absent from
the scanning device's AP list.
This patch bumps the default to 1000 to be more in
line with a realistic modern max number of APs
in a given area.
