Add WlanApi module

[eranl]

This is a partial mapping of WlanApi.h.

Thank you, I made a first pass. Please have a look at the inline comments.

Thanks for the update. I checked the type definitions against MSDN and the headers are a bit convoluted. I see:

• Definitions from Wlantypes.h (or Windot11.h, see blow):

  • DOT11_SSID_MAX_LENGTH
  • DOT11_AUTH_ALGORITHM
  • DOT11_CIPHER_ALGORITHM
  • DOT11_BSS_TYPE (it is defined in Wlantypes.h, MSDN says you should include windot11.h ...)
  • DOT11_SSID (it is defined in Wlantypes.h, MSDN says you should include windot11.h ...)

• Definitions from Windot11.h:

  • DOT11_MAC_ADDRESS
  • DOT11_PHY_TYPE

I think moving the referenced types to Windot11.java might be the cleanest solution.

For the type mapping of WLAN_SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES, please ensure, that a correct typemapper is active. boolean is not well defined. In Windows it is BOOL (32bit), but people would like to have boolean be a C bool, which is one byte (commonly). Use the com.sun.jna.win32.W32APITypeMapper.UNICODE mapper.

I moved all of these to Windot11.java. Is that what you meant?

I used W32APITypeMapper.UNICODE. Anything else needed?

Thanks for your patience. There are two inline changes required.

After that please squash all changes into a single commit and add an entry to CHANGES.md in the Features section. Have a look at the other entries for the format and template for the changes.

Done. I'm curious: why not do this while merging to master?

Because github squash-on-merge is broken. The NetBeans project tried it and github multiple times generated broken commits. Github replaces the author information in the resulting commit with different information, than the one of the individual commits. git rebase takes the author information from the commits, github tries to be clever and use the users "public" data. Multiple times we lost realnames and/or emails because users had strange privacy settings for their github account.
