In cases where the user has made a choice or it is clear we don't need to
continue scanning we need to stop scanning to not use power or bother the
wireless driver.
This came from CR comment seb-028:
seb-028 main.c'71: Related to wlan_scan_interval, if the user manually
selected a specific WLAN link, I would think that the daemon doesn't scan every
120 seconds. For some WiFi drivers, initiating a scan can have really strange
side-effects, including blocking data for extended periods of time and
experiencing link flaps. It would be nice to have a mode where the daemon
doesn't continually scan for no reason.
