Allow non-root users easier access #498

Description

Allow users to manage the AP
This would require one setup for the daemon to run as root, but then, when the daemon calls to iw as root, it could redirect its data to the ui, enabling the user to control this service completely without needing sudo every time they start it. This would probably make a few things easier.

Method 1: General setup
Should be well shielded, but just once setup to run daemon and then let any UI steer it as they want. Would already grant sufficient function to basic desktop setups.

Method 2: Specific user group
As header suggests, you once need to use root to sign you up into that group. Then, and only then, you may access (possibly different levels of) permissions to control the AP.

These would make it easier to use the software as a simple user.
