[RFC] doc: Document new BSS affinity method calls

[James Prestwood]

This documents new DBus methods that expose a bit more control to how
IWD roams. The new methods are:

SetConnectedBssAffinity()
UnsetConnectedBssAffinity()

Setting the affinity on the connected BSS effectively "locks" IWD to
that BSS (except at critical RSSI levels, explained below). This can
be useful for clients that have access to more information about the
environment than IWD. For example, if a client is stationary there
is likely no point in trying to roam until it has moved elsewhere.

A new main.conf option would also be added:

[General].CriticalRoamThreshold

This would be the new roam threshold set after
SetConnectedBssAffinity() is called. If the RSSI continues to drop
below this level IWD would (attempt to) roam.
