nl80211/cfg80211: add match filtering for sched_scan
Introduce filtering for scheduled scans to reduce the number of unnecessary results (which cause useless wake-ups). Add a new nested attribute where sets of parameters to be matched can be passed when starting a scheduled scan. Only scan results that match any of the sets will be returned. At this point, the set consists of a single parameter, an SSID. This can be easily extended in the future to support more complex matches.
