This change moves the FILS discovery and unsolicited probe response

Why not have both, ie. support initial setup through START_AP and
allow modifications with new command or an existing one. Maybe we
should consolidate to what has been discussed in thread about AP power
save [1].

Hi Arend,
FILS discovery and especially unsolicited probe response templates are big. Sometimes send_and_recv() returns error due to memory unavailability during wpa_driver_nl80211_set_ap() depending on how many interfaces, which elements are added. Moving these to separate commands resolves this issue along with more control over the time interval during run-time.
Thanks.
