Small wpa_supplicant rc.d script improvement



Hi all,

The attached patch teaches the wpa_supplicant rc.d script how to
reload the wpa configuration.  This makes adding new networks managed
by wpa_supplicant a little more convenient and more consistent with
other daemons started from /etc/rc.d.
Thoughts?

Cheers,
Peter
