Shaba Abhiram 6deecdf622 [BugFix] Correctly detect access point mode
Some new updates to the raspbian os have removed a few things and added
a few things:

- The access point status is no longer visible when "iwconfig" is run
  against the wlan0 interface. When the pi was in access point mode,
  this used to show the name of the (self) hosted access point.
+ dhcpcd now automagically will handle all interfaces and it seems like
  we need a good way to work around this issue - coming to a commit
  soon.

1. Check for dependencies
2. Check to see if we are connected to a wifi AP
3. If connected to a wifi, do nothing -> exit
4. Convert RPI to act as a AP (with a configurable SSID)
5. Host a lightweight HTTP server which allows for the user to connect and
configure the RPIs wifi connection. The interfaces exposed are RESTy so
other applications can similarly implement their own UIs around the
data returned.
6. Once the RPI is successfully configured, reset it to act as a wifi
device (not AP anymore), and setup its wifi network based on what the
user picked.
7. At this stage, the RPI is named, and has a valid wifi connection which
its bound to, reboot the pi and re-run this script on startup.
