Rather than removing wpa-supplicant, which breaks backwards
compatibility and expectations, wouldn't it make more sense to
introduce a variable for the wireless service, and default it
to wpa-supplicant. Then there is no breakage for those who
expect packagegroup-base-wifi to pull in wpa-supplicant, but
those who want to use iwd can easily change the configuration
in their distros.
