When using the net-auto-wireless profile, it can be very helpful to
prefer certain connections over others.

This seemed like an obvious addition to me when I was trying to replace a box
with a static wpa_supplicant.conf configuration and couldn't reproduce it
faithfully.
This also makes me wonder if the 'wpa-configsection' option is all too
restrictive, or if we should always append a CONFIGSECTION variable if it is
present in a profile. This would allow people to do the HIDDEN (existing) and
PRIORITY option (introduced here) in a more ad-hoc fashion as well as allowing
any other WPA options we don't currently support without having to special-case
each one.
