wpas_connection_failed() uses the blacklist count to figure out a
suitable time to wait for the next scan. This mechanism did not work
properly in cases where the temporary blacklist gets cleared due to no
other BSSes being available. Address this by maintaining an additional
count of blacklisting values over wpa_blacklist_clear() calls. In
addition, add one more step in the count to timeout mapping to go to 10
second interval if more than four failures are seen.

There were various issues in how the SME (i.e., nl80211-based driver
interface) handled various authentication and association timeouts and
failures. Authentication failure was not handled at all (wpa_supplicant
just stopped trying to connect completely), authentication timeout
resulted in blacklisting not working in the expected way (i.e., the same
BSS could be selected continuously), and association cases had similar
problems.
Use a common function to handle all these cases and fix the blacklist
operation. Use smaller delay before trying to scan again during the
initial cycle through the available APs to speed up connection. Add
a special case for another-BSS-in-the-same-ESS being present to
speed up recovery from networks with multiple APs doing load balancing
in various odd ways that are deployed out there.
