    etc/network.subr: enhance wlan initialization
    
    Introduce new functions wlan_get_unused() and wlan_is_parent(),
    and extend wlan_up() to utilize them.
    
    With this change, devices configured the traditional way in rc.conf(5)
    are created first, and then all other wireless interfaces are assigned
    to next available wlan<index> devices automatically.
    
    This allows either to have wlan configured manually in rc.conf(5) via
    "wlans_<iface>" or to remove the static assignment and let devices be
    auto-created. With dhcpcd_enable and wpa_supplicant_enable in rc.conf,
    no further configuration is then needed to get network connectivity.
    
    Furthermore, this will allow to enhance devd(8) default configuration,
    so that also hot-pluggable wireless interfaces are automatically detected
    and brought up (ie. assigned to wlan<index> devices).
