Support ignoring penalty for bad wifi networks
This patch adds a way to configure devices so that a validated network
that becomes unvalidated is not penalized in the network scoring and
selection logic.
The intent is to prevent devices configured to do so from switching to a
lower scoring network such as cellular networks when a higher scoring
network such as wifi networks loses internet connectivity.
