supplicant: Document p2p_disable option.

From: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com>

I needed this option to disable p2p on a buggy system.
Document this so someone else finds it quicker next time!

Noticed the other day that even when specifying p2p_disable=1 it still 
creates a p2p interface.

Don't know if that is a bug, or intended behaviour, and I should use 
another option to disable the interface.
If the last, it might be good to document what the option does and does 
not disable.

FWIW, I've just send a patch to the mailing that should fix this.

Regards,

Ilan.
