[PATCH] auto-t: add ability to reserve radios not for IWD/hostapd/etc

[James Prestwood]

If the test needs to do something very specific it may be useful to
prevent IWD from managing all the radios. This can now be done
by setting a "reserve" option in the radio settings. The value of
this should be something other than iwd, hostapd, or wpa_supplicant.

For example:

[rad1]
reserve=false
