Summary: need to provide a way for GUI to determine intial state
of links/interfaces

the GUI needs to be able to determine what state (from an nwamd perspective)
links and interfaces are in on startup. This means we'd need to know if a WLAN
selection is needed, if a key is needed, or in the case of interfaces, if a
DHCP request is in progress etc.
Having a way to synchronously determine these things saves having the daemon
repeatedly send messages.
One way to do this would be to add a parameter to nwam_*_get_state() -
specifically an auxiliary state that can specify WLAN_NEED_KEY or
WLAN_NEED_SELECTION etc.
It may also make sense to provde an API to retrieve the specific WLAN selected
by the daemon (or by the user via the nwam_wlan_select() API function), i.e.
nwam_error_t nwam_wlan_get_selection(const char *linkname, char **essidp, char
**bssidp);
