[PATCH] hostapd: Set stdout line-buffered

[Paul Stewart]

I did notice that.  In one of our test flows we wanted to make sure both
stdout (really the output of wpa_printf) and stderr (incidental errors
printed by modules not directly within ownership of hostapd) were directed
to the same file and did not fight with each other about file position.
