patch for ebuild to add bgscan use flag

Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems as though we should have a use flag or *something* to enable bgscan to facilitate roaming between APs within the same ESSID.

I've included a patch to the current ebuild that adds a "bgscan" use flag that adds CONFIG_BGSCAN_SIMPLE and CONFIG_BGSCAN_LEARN to the .config file for the build.

Added in 2.0-r3 - no use flag, since there is no point in being able to disable it at compiletime. :-)

Great, thanks!
