[PATCH v2] wpasupplicant: Only advertise MSCS and SCS in association request if supported by bss

[Sebastian Priebe <sebastian.priebe@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Since version 2.10 the extended capabilities MSCS and SCS
are advertised in the association request.
This causes the association request to be rejected by several
access points. Issue was observed with:
- D-Link DIR600
- Tp-Link AC1900
- Synology MR2200ac
To avoid this issue the extended capabilities MSCS and SCS
shall only be added if the bss also supports them.

Note: The extended capabilities are only included in the
association request if the bss also sent it's extended
capabilities (see wpas_populate_assoc_ies). This workaround
exists since version 2.1.
