Ensure our wpa_supplicant is patched for KRACK

it's actually a port: ​https://github.com/haikuports/haikuports/tree/master/net-wireless/wpa_supplicant

[kallisti5]

A port we have heavily customized with a UI :-) Not sure our patches will apply cleanly to the latest wpa_supplicant... might need to backport the KRACK patch to our older version.

I sent an email to the wpa_supplication project via their ML to see if they would be interested in accepting some of these changes upstream. Our wpa_supplicant is 2.0 which is pretty old.

the patch still references boot/common, so probably needs to be more fully reviewed before trying to upstream it.

+CFLAGS += -I/boot/common/include +LIBS += -L/boot/common/lib

Please note that two years ago I attempted to update wpa_supplicant to version 2.4. This can be found at my github account:

​https://github.com/mmlr/wpa_supplicant-haiku

I do not remember if this produced a stable package or would have required more effort. I guess since it never made it to HaikuPorts there probably were issues.

In ​https://github.com/pulkomandy/wpa_supplicant-haiku/commits/master I got mmlr work up to date with wpa_supplicant 2.5. This is what is now shipped with Haiku and seems to be working.

wpa_supplicant 2.6 changed some internal APIs (actually making them closer to what we do for Haiku, so it should simplify our code). So some of our patches needs to be adjusted.

Note that even 2.6 isn't patched for KRACK, so we would need to cherry pick more changes from upstream trunk, or wait for a 2.7 release.

Arch Linux's patches for 2.6 are here: ​https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/wpa_supplicant&id=9c1bda00a846ff3b60e7c4b4f60b28ff4a8f7768

wpa_supplicant 2.7~devel is now in the package repositories (though the DNS hasn't been switched off of vmpkg yet, so it won't appear till kallisti5 changes that.)
