fix(openwrt): use iw phy interface add for scan when no UCI wifi-iface exists

wifi up does nothing without a wifi-iface section in UCI (common on fresh
flash). Instead, create a temporary managed interface directly on phy0
via nl80211 (iw phy phy0 interface add scan0 type managed), scan on it,
then delete it. No netifd/UCI involvement needed for scanning.
