    wtap(4): Implement STA/HostAP mode and support WPA/WPA2
    
    Below is the commit message:
    ```
    Wtap originally only supported mesh/ad-hoc mode, and cannot be combined
    with wpa_supplicant(8) and hostapd(8) since it's unaware of encryption/decryption.
    This commit adds support for hostap and sta mode with WPA/WPA2, thus wtap(4)
    can now be used with hostapd(8) and wpa_supplicant(8).
    ```
