net_server: Clients can now check if a service is running.

* Using the new kMsgIsServiceRunning command.

Rework initial auto joining and add big TODOs.

* If we have a configured network, then we always try to connect to it
as soon as the interface has been brought up.
* If we don't have a configured network and are auto configuring, we
use the AutoconfigLooper to also do initial auto joins.
* Before issuing auto joins we need to wait for scan results to come
in, so we watch for corresponding messages.

For now auto joining is a one shot attempt as the infrastructure to
properly tell reasons for scans apart is not yet there.

* Remove the BNetworkDevice::AddPersistentNetwork() again and instead introduce
BNetworkRoster::{Count|GetNext|Add|Remove}PersistentNetwork() as it fits
better (thanks Philippe for the heads up).
* Implement the backend for these functions in the net_server and also move
conversion of the wireless_network based format into the settings based format
there.
* Implement removal of a network from the settings and make adding a new network
with the same name replace the old one instead of just adding multiple ones.
Might need to change this in the future depending on how we want to handle
multiple networks with the same name (i.e. distinguish based on BSSID or
similar).
* Fix apparent oversight that caused configured networks _not_ to be used in the
auto join attempt.
* Remove auto joining open networks. I've been bitten by that more than once now
because we happen to have an open network in the neighbourhood that I now
accidentally used to transfer quite a bit of (unencrypted) stuff before
noticing... In the future, one will instead have to explicitly join an open
network once and store that config. Note that the driver will actually still
auto-associate with open networks due to how things are set up currently.
Note also that the auto join will fire join requests whenever there's a
disassociation event, so you might see spurious join dialogs when the
wpa_supplicant actually just re-establishes the connection.
* Make join requests async again. Instead of waiting for a synchronous reply of
the wpa_supplicant we instead return success when the request has been sent.
While the API call might still be made synchronous again in the future, the
net_server should really not block on an external application. In the case of
the wpa_supplicant we would otherwise deadlock when using the new
*PersistentNetwork() API after a successful join, and in other cases we might
just unacceptably delay other calls.

Add message handling for adding persistent network configurations (as in
wireless_network).


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@42806 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Moved the shared part of NetServer.h into a new private header.
