Remove wireless-tools dependency

[Ravi Kant Sharma]

Wireless Extensions support in the kernel has been deprecated[1] for a long time now. wireless-tools[2] userspace utility should be removed. iw[3] is considered as the alternate.

wireless-tools is deprecated and is being removed from 24.10 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wireless-tools/+bug/2068612

linssid is using iw https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linssid/tree/linssid-app/Getter.cpp#n91

I do not see any reference to wireless-tools in the source.
