Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * A driver supports FT (IEEE 802.11r-2008 or fast BSS transition (FT),
     also called fast roaming) if it either supports SME or the
     NL80211_CMD_UPDATE_FT_IES command. When selecting AKM suites,
     wpa_supplicant currently doesn't take into account whether or not either
     of those conditions are met. This can cause association failures, e.g.,
     when an AP supports both WPA-EAP and FT-EAP but the driver doesn't
     support FT (wpa_supplicant will decide to do FT-EAP since it is unaware
     the driver doesn't support it).

   * This is known to affect users at least users with popular chip-sets,
     such as BCM20703A1 or BCM4350 (notably present in the popular XPS 13/15
     laptops).

   * The upload fixes the bug by allowing an FT suite to be selected only
     when the driver also supports FT.

  [Test Case]

   * requires affected hardware and wpa_supplicant built with CONFIG_IEEE80211R
     and connecting to an AP supporting WPA-EAP and FT-EAP

  [Regression Potential]

   * a driver not advertising correctly its support for SME or the
     NL80211_CMD_UPDATE_FT_IES command via the drv_flags would be prevented from
     using FT but would still be able to connect to APs
