Add some notes and clarify a few sections:
1. Add a note to double-check the man page 2. Remove windows-specific items in the ctrl_interface section 3. Add a note that ap_scan must be set to 1 for use with wlan 4. Clarify the wording for scan_ssid related to APs that hide ssid 5. Clarify the wording for the priority option
