…ions.

Fixes #4410  https://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/4410

The 'Discard network history' button is peculiar to Sugar, and
is destructive to all non-wireless connections, despite being in
the 'Wireless' section of the control panel.

Relabel the code variables and functions to be specific to
wireless connections.

Recode the functions to exclude non-wireless connections and
include only 802-11-wireless or 802-11-olpc-mesh types.

Relabel the 'Radio' box instructions and 'Discard ...' button
to avoid confusion over their state and actions.

…ware.

Remove distracting interface elements when they are not needed.
Keep a clear and simple interface for Sugar.

To reveal if any wireless drivers are available in system memory,
the /sys/module/cfg80211/holders/ directory of the kernel module
database is listed. (NetworkManager on current OLPC systems do not
list wireless devices when the radio is disabled.)
