Purpose of this patch is creating mesh gate without any wpa_cli command.
We can save mesh gate config to config file.
But we can not specify creation of vif in config file.

Thanks. I fixed my patch.
I made following patch for master branch.
Because previous patch for mesh branch could not apply to master branch.
