Improve roaming logic
Currently, wpa_supplicant may roam too aggressively; the need_to_roam()
function will return early with a roaming decision if the difference in
signal level or throughput between the current and selected APs is
"sufficiently large." In particular, if the selected AP's estimated
throughput is more than 5k greater than the current AP's estimated
throughput, wpa_supplicant will decide to roam. Otherwise, if the
selected AP's signal level is less than the current AP's signal level,
or the selected AP's estimated throughput is at least 5k less than the
current AP's estimated throughput, wpa_supplicant will skip the roam.
These decisions are based only on one factor and can lead to poor
roaming choices (e.g., a roam should not happen if the selected AP's
estimated throughput meets the threshold but the current signal and
throughput are already good, whereas a roam should happen if the signal
is slightly worse but the estimated throughput is significantly better).
This change standardizes the roaming heuristic for signal strength
difference requirements and will hopefully improve user experience. The
change can be summarized as follows: based on the current signal level,
a certain roaming difficulty is assigned. Based on the selected AP's
estimated throughput relative to the current AP's estimated throughput,
the difficulty is adjusted up or down. If the difference in signal level
meets the threshold, a roam happens.
The hard-coded values were selected purely based on the previous version
of this function. They may eventually need to be fine-tuned for optimal
performance.

Update throughput estimate for the current BSS based on signal poll

Ant A can hear AP A very well (-60) but AP B very bad (-80)
Ant B can hear AP B very well (-60) but AP A very bad (-80)
When the device associates to AP A, it'll learn to use Ant A. If the
device uses one single antenna to receive the scan results, it may hear
the AP it is currently associated to on the second antenna and get bad
results. Because of that, the wpa_supplicant will roam to the other AP
and the same scenario will repeat itself:
Association to AP A (Ant A reports -60).
Scan on Ant A: AP A: -60, AP B: -80
Scan on Ant B: AP A: -80, AP A: -60 ==> ROAM.
Association to AP B (Ant B reports -60)
Scan on Ant A: AP A: -60, AP B: -80 ==> ROAM
Etc...

drv_signal_poll() instead of relying on the signal level that we get
from the scan results. Also update the throughput estimate based on the

tests: Use python selector in the parallel-vm.py main loop
This gets rid of the loop that was polling for things to do every 0.25

available. This avoids unnecessary operations when no new data is
available and avoids unnecessary waits when new data becomes available
more quickly.
