Since version 1.20, NetworkManager supports 802.11r Fast Transition by
passing both "wpa-psk-sha256" and "ft-psk" to wpa_supplicant as possible
authentication mechanisms. However, wireless adapters such as the
Raspberry Pi 3B's BCM43438 do not support Fast Transition and fail to
connect when wpa_supplicant tries to use it instead of ordinary (slow)
authentication. This patch skips over "ft-psk" in
wpa_supplicant_set_suites if the user's hardware doesn't support it,
making the latest NetworkManager work seamlessly on the Raspberry Pi.
There was already a check in wpa_supplicant_set_suites that disables
Fast Transition if neither SME nor IES is available. However, it is
evident that support for SME or IES is a necessary but not sufficient
condition for supporting Fast Transition.
