patch

This patch does the following:
* Adds DEBUG option to simplify troubleshooting
* Adds debug logging of wpa_supplicant control interface
* Installs the manpage
* Adds USE_QT4=corelib
* Makes wpa_gui executable setuid to allow it to easily connect to
wpa_supplicant control socket
* Fixes the problem that wpa_gui sometimes picks up .pid file instead of the
control interface

wpa_gui needs wpa_supplicant to create the control interface socket, which is
done by this patch:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211213

With the 211213 patch, wpa_gui now seamlessly works with wpa_supplicant from
the port security/wpa_supplicant when /etc/rc.conf has:
> wpa_supplicant_enable="YES"
> wpa_supplicant_program="/usr/local/sbin/wpa_supplicant"
