#15181: Only show each SSID once, and automatically pick the best (WLAN 
handovers)

 In public places, e.g., airports, hotels, train stations, there will be
 many access points with the same SSID.

 As of hrev53259+3, Haiku shows each one separately, unlike any other OS I
 know.

 It should only show each SSID once, and automatically pick the access
 point with strongest signal for that SSID. The client needs to select
 another, stronger access point with the same SSID (if available) if the
 current signal is getting too weak - so that it even works when moving
 around (WLAN handovers between access points).
