Use ifconfig(8)'s "join" command by default

Its adoption went quite well, so install "join" rather than the old "nwid"
in new hostname.if(5) files and follow this trend in our wifi manuals.

OK deraadt sthen


# 1.37 15-Oct-2021 kn

Teach modern "inet autoconf"

This goes in line with hostname.if(5), unwind.conf(5), ifconfig(8)
as well as our installer.

OK deraadt

# 1.29 29-Aug-2008 damien

the atw(4) man page says:

"The driver lets you change to Host AP mode, but it does not work
and it probably never will."

the addition of the wpa options have shown just how unwieldy it had

get the relevant ones.
