For the time being, this type of constraint should be limited to apply
only to infrastructure BSS cases. Furthermore, this is not really
correct even for those. EAP, DPP, etc. needs to be allowed as well. In
practice, it would be better to disallow known cases (e.g., unencrypted
connection in open mode and SAE using hunting-and-pecking loop) instead
of trying to come up with a complete list of what is allowed.
