hostapd-init.d

Hi,

please find attached an improved init script for hostapd.
It uses new features from openrc and can be used as drop-in replacement for the current init script.

The changes are:

- it uses default start()/stop() functions from openrc
- it uses a pidfile to store/obtain PID from running hostapd
- less code in the script


If you have any questions or need some help please let me know.
