Pranav Jerry ca1e721c9e
fixed logging issue and another bug
There was a problem with indentation which made the line starting adhoc
not being run at all.
Updated CHANGELOG
Moved some things to other places
log.py is back! It isn't needed, but it doesn't do any harm anyway.

iwd.py
------
This file contains methods to communicate with iwd via
its D-Bus API and control WiFi adapters.
Some terms used here, such as device and adapter might
confuse you if you haven't used iwctl before.
Just as a quick reference, here is a list of terms
and what they mean:
- ad-hoc: a mode supported by some WiFi adapters to
start a decentralised network, where there
is no central point of failure.
- ap: a mode used to start a central access point
so that other machines without naxalnet can
connect to the mesh. AP is also known as
WiFi hotspot.
- station: this is the mode most WiFi adapters use
by default. This mode is used to connect to
an ap. naxalnet DOES NOT use this mode.
- adapter: a physical WiFi chip or something similar
that is present inside most laptops and phones
or can be connected via USB to a machine.
- device: an interface provided by the kernel to control
an adapter. Some adapters can have multiple
devices so that you can start an ap on one device
and an ad-hoc on the other. By default, iwd starts
only one device each for one adapter.
- machine: Since iwd uses the term device for a
WiFi interface, we use the word machine to
refer to a computer, or a laptop, or a phone.
- node: a machine that runs naxalnet and is therefore
connected to the mesh.
