wpa_supplicant-2.7-ebuild

Update to new wpa_supplicant 2.7 release. Most noticeable end user features would be being less conservative in using 5GHz versus 2.4GHz bands and WPA3/SAE support.

Updated ebuild attached which only really removes the libressl and packet number reuse patches as upstream and added patch to fix undefined function remove_ie().

Would you mind attaching a unified diff (diff -u) to this bug so we can see what changes you did to the ebuild?
