The hardest part of this for the indicator is knowing exactly when to
start doing extra scans.

The indicator-network service has no idea when the indicator menu itself
is actually opened. For this to work both unity8 and qmenumodel would
need to be modified to support the "submenu-action" convention.
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8/+bug/1398888)

Adding a filtered model between the raw APs and the current APs based on
the last-seen property would be reasonably straight-forward.

My main objection would really be that there should really be a
consistent strategy for AP aging across all clients. So, e.g. unity7 and
unity8 will have the same behaviour.

Bug description:
  Summary: Network indicator lists the non-exist AP
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Boot to system
  2. Scroll down the Network indicator
  3. It lists about 10 AP (In Taipei office)
  4. Go to another place and check network indicator again

  Expected Result:
  It should not list non-exist AP and only show available AP

  Actual Result:
  It shows about 12 AP on the screen but only two are real AP for connecting, 
and others 10 are from last list.

  This is reproducible on mako/krillin on both RTM and vivid.

  The main issue is that the timeout for the AP to be removed from the
  known AP list is too big when comparing with other phones.
