Bug Description

In Unity7 network-manager indicator is a bit dumb, that is it refreshes after hard-coded intervals. This works in some cases but for cases where you just created a hotspot and want to connect to it, you have to turn off wifi and turn it back on again, problematic, eh ?

Lets fix that with unity8, whenever we open the indicator please refresh the list of wifi networks for a few seconds(5?) and also for the duration of when the indicator is kept open we should refresh wifi network more frequently then we generally do.
