Regarding SAE support in wifi-station:
Important Note: Unlike PSK wifi-stations, both `mac` and `key` options are required
to make it work. With PSK, hostapd used to perform a brute-force match to find which
PSK entry to use, but with SAE this is infeasible due to SAE's design.
When `mac` is omitted, it will allow any MAC address to use the SAE password if it
didn't have a MAC address assigned to it, but this could only be done once.
The last wildcard entry would be used.
Also, unlike "hostapd: add support for SAE in PPSK option" (commit 913368a),
it is not required to set `sae_pwe` to `0`. This gives it a slight advantage
over using PPSK that goes beyond not needing RADIUS.
Example Configuration:
```
config wifi-vlan
option iface default_radio0
option name 999
option vid 999
option network management
config wifi-station
# Allow user with MAC address 00:11:22:33:44:55 and matching
# key "secretadminpass" to access the management network.
option iface default_radio0
option vid 999
option mac '00:11:22:33:44:55'
option key secretadminpass
config wifi-vlan
option iface default_radio0
option name 100
option vid 100
option network guest
config wifi-station
# With SAE, when 'mac' is omitted it will be the fallback in case no
# other MAC address matches. It won't be possible for a user that
# has a matching MAC to use this network (i.e., 00:11:22:33:44:55
# in this example).
option iface default_radio0
option vid 100
option key guestpass
```
Regarding PSK file creation optimization:
This patch now conditionally runs `hostapd_set_psk_file` depending on `auth_type`.
Previously, `hostapd_set_psk` would always execute `hostapd_set_psk_file`, which
would create a new file if `wifi-station` was in use even if PSK was not enabled.
This change checks the `auth_type` to ensure that it is appropriate to parse the
`wifi-station` entries and create those files.
Furthermore, we now only configure `wpa_psk_file` when it is a supported option
(i.e., psk or psk-sae is used). Previously, we used to configure it when it was
not necessary. While it didn't cause any issues, it would litter `/var/run` with
unnecessary files. This patch fixes that case by configuring it depending on the
`auth_type`.
The new SAE support is aligned with these PSK file changes.
