WiFi screen: reach the root helper through a socket instead of sudo; adapter dropdown

The kiosk app can end up with the no-new-privileges flag, after which sudo
refuses to run ("The no new privileges flag is set"). The helper is now
served over a root-owned, kiosk-group-only unix socket (systemd socket
activation); sudo stays as a fallback. With several WiFi adapters the screen
shows a dropdown and lists all of them; status/scan/connect take an iface.

# kiosk-wifi-helper-socket - socket front end for kiosk-wifi-helper.
#
# Run by systemd (kiosk-wifi-helper@.service, one instance per connection to
# /run/kiosk-wifi-helper.sock) as root, with the connection as stdin AND
# stdout. The kiosk app connects, sends
#
# <action>\n<JSON request body>
#
# and half-closes; the reply is the helper's one JSON line.
#
# Why a socket and not `sudo`: the kiosk app can end up running with the
# Linux "no new privileges" flag, and sudo then refuses to run as root
# ("The 'no new privileges' flag is set"). A root service reached through a
# socket isn't affected by that flag. Who may connect is decided by the
# socket's owner/group/mode (root:kiosk 0660) - the same people who could
# run the helper through the old sudoers rule, no more.
#
# Only the fixed actions below are passed on; anything else is refused.
