Install WiFi tools (wpasupplicant, iw) in the base kiosk install

Browse Source 
A default Ubuntu Server 26.04 install only gets wpasupplicant/iw when
WiFi is configured in the installer's network screen (they're not in the
server manifest otherwise). Without them netplan can't join a WiFi
network and Core Settings -> WiFi stops at "No WiFi tools found" - which
is exactly the offline-first case: install with no network, then use the
kiosk's WiFi menu to connect.

- Add wpasupplicant and iw to PROVISION_APT_PACKAGES, so first boot
  installs them in step 1 (from the offline bundle when there's no
  internet) - before Core Settings -> WiFi is offered. +1.6 MB in the
  bundle.
- wifi_menu installs them itself (via run_with_offline_fallback) if
  they're missing, instead of erroring with an apt command to run.

Bundle rebuilt: contains wpasupplicant and iw.
