[PATCH v2] supplicant: Allow simple bgscan to do btm queries.

[greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

From: Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Allow doing X bss_transition_mgmt_query calls before falling back to
scan.

Example format to do 4 btm before attempting a scan: bgscan="simple:30:-65:300:4"

Signed-off-by: Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
---

v2:  Check ext capabilities before trying BTM query
     Schedule new timeout in case we do BTM query.
