One-interface unit for wpa_supplicant (wpa_supplicant@.service)

As I mentioned earlier, that service file is useful only to NetworkManager, and I'm not even sure if NM is not a better place to install it.

I'm attaching a simple unit of mine which allows running wpa_supplicant on a single interface (without NM).

CC-ing NetworkManager maintainers too to see what they think on #c1.

I would suggest changing

Description=WPA supplicant daemon (interface-specific version)

to something like

Description=WPA supplicant daemon on %I
