    hostapd: SAE - Enable hunting-and-pecking and H2E
    
    Enable both the hunting-and-pecking loop and hash-to-element mechanisms
    by default in OpenWRT with SAE.
    
    Commercial Wi-Fi solutions increasingly frequently now ship with both
    hunting-and-pecking and hash-to-element (H2E) enabled by default as this
    is more secure and more performant than offering hunting-and-pecking
    alone for H2E capable clients.
    
    The hunting and pecking loop mechanism is inherently fragile and prone to
    timing-based side channels in its design and is more computationally
    intensive to perform. Hash-to-element (H2E) is its long-term
    replacement to address these concerns.
    
    For clients that only support the hunting-and-pecking loop mechanism,
    this is still available to use by default.
    
    For clients that in addition support, or were to require, the
    hash-to-element (H2E) mechanism, this is then available for use.
