[LEDE-DEV] [PATCH v2] hostapd: explicitly set beacon interval for wpa_supplicant

[Sven Eckelmann]

The beacon_int is currently set explicitly for hostapd and when LEDE uses
iw to join an IBSS/mesh. But it was not done when wpa_supplicant was used
to join an encrypted IBSS or mesh.

This configuration is required when an AP interface is configured together
with an mesh interface. The beacon_int= line must therefore be re-added to
the wpa_supplicant config. The value is retrieved from the the global
variable.

This patch was only tested with LEDE 17.01.4. And only in sta and mesh
mode.

This patch also requires
https://git.lede-project.org/?p=source.git;a=commitdiff;h=5e481881d7abd814abbf40a046be90cbaf835e72
to be backported to 17.01

v2:
 - remove the line with the local variable declarations and refer to the
   commit 5e481881d7 instead
