WPA3 support (SAE)

[redfast00]

Thank you for this project, it has come in useful quite often while developing our own open-source Wi-Fi stack on the ESP32 (see https://github.com/esp32-open-mac).

I saw that there was no WPA3 support yet; would it be possible to add that? I'd be interested in both the handshake (SAE) and in the GCMP encryption mode.

Yes, WPA3 is in the plan. But I'm not sure when 🤷‍♂️ (it's been in the plan for a long time)
Theorically simply adding some options into hostapd.conf will do that.

Lines 1877 to 1887 in fe2348a

	write_hostapd_conf() {
	cat <<- EOF > "$CONFDIR/hostapd.conf"
	beacon_int=100
	ssid=${SSID}
	interface=${AP_IFACE}
	driver=${DRIVER}
	channel=${CHANNEL}
	ctrl_interface=$CONFDIR/hostapd_ctrl
	ctrl_interface_group=0
	ignore_broadcast_ssid=$HIDDEN
	ap_isolate=$ISOLATE_CLIENTS

Recently I don't have spare time to do or test. You can try. I'm also expecting PR

@redfast00 can you test WPA3 with my patch #97 ?

[redfast00]

Thank you for the PR. I no longer have the Wi-Fi dongle I did tests with, unfortunately, so will be unable to test.
