I would assume everything else is already there apart from maybe not
being able to retrieve psk or the special disabled=2 value (or set
disabled=2 for that matter) to distinguish this is a persistent group.
The full data is also available through ctrl_interface now, but maybe
not with D-Bus yet (well, neither is any other P2P functionality).
