To be able to stop a triggered scan earlier (when one finds the desired
amount of scan results or some specific BSSID), the user needs to be
notified with intermediate scan result on reception of each new beacon/probe
response during the scan process.
Next patches adding the ability:
1. To stop a running scan with new 'scan cancel' command,
this v2 patch has mostly cosmetic changes.
2. To get new intermediate scan result event, during running scan.
3. To setup min RSSI threshold for intermediate scan events, which will
reduce significantly irrelevant intermediate scan result notification
(i.e. kernel-user traffic).
