wifi: set the BridgeIfname supplicant property when needed

Beniamino Galvani requested to merge bg/wifi-bridge into master

When a wifi device is in a bridge, the supplicant must be aware of it, as a socket must be opened on the bridge to receive packets.

Set the BridgeIfname property of the supplicant Interface object before starting the association. Note that the property was read-only in the past and recently [1] became read-write. When using a supplicant version without the patch, writing the property will return an InvalidArgs error and NetworkManager will print a warning.
