packagegroup-base: pull in iw as well as wireless-tools
As was discussed in the commit which adds iw: iw uses cfg80211/nl80211, which is the way of the future. wireless-tools uses WEXT, which uses ioctl, which is in deep maintenance mode. See http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Documentation/Wireless-Extensions. Also https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw indicates "The old tool iwconfing, which uses Wireless Extensions interface, is deprecated and it's strongly recommended to switch to iw and nl80211." wireless-tools is kept as well for now for compatibility reasons, until we have verified that all the network configuration mechanisms are using iw. This adds VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_wireless-tools as a distro convenience.
