Allow apps with ACCESS_WIFI_STATE to listen for wifi networks
The compatibility measure introduced in bug 20081183 for apps that connect to a Wi-Fi network without Internet access and then expect to be able to use that network requires that such apps register a NetworkCallback so that their WifiManager can pin them to whatever wifi Network connects. Currently, registering the callback requires ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE and the app may not have that permission. Allow registering wifi (only) callbacks if the app has ACCESS_WIFI_STATE. If the app does not have ACCESS_WIFI_STATE (unlikely, since CHANGE_WIFI_STATE is not very useful without ACCESS_WIFI_STATE), then don't enable the compatibility measure.
