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
