eiwd - iwd without dbus

STATUS (GUTTED AND SOMEWHAT HACKY)

• Daemon works without DBUS.
• Simple client implemented (iwc).
• Simple tool added (iwd_passphrase).

GOALS

• Implement our own full client in C using a different IPC.
• Bring 'wired/' back into tree and get it to function without DBUS.
