[PATCH] hostapd: output ignore_broadcast_ssid when using STATUS

[Antonio Prcela]

Ok. Basically create a hostapd/config.c with 'hostapd_config_get_value()',
like it is in wpa_supplicant/config.c with 'wpa_config_get_value()',
to get all the available config paramters that are in hostapd.conf?

And call that new 'hostapd_config_get_value()' within 'hostapd_ctrl_iface_get()'?

Regards,
Antonio
