[LEDE-DEV] Patch to iwinfo to add the ability to load backends from external .so modules

[Patrick Martin]

Hello,

I'm submitting a patch to iwinfo that loads external .so files from
/usr/lib/iwinfo to allow for the addition of binary backends via
packages, I set it up to be as isolated from the other code in iwinfo
so as to not affect anything you guys might be working on with it.
this patch (or something similar) is needed in order to add the
ability to read info about the Quantenna radio in the driver packages
i'm working on. This was made on jow's (i think it was jow at least)
suggestion.
