Title:
  Network indicator should deal with AP/P2P Wi-Fi devices as well as
  active AP/P2P connections

Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  Confirmed
Status in indicator-network package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Using vivid on krillin

  Background:
  From the spec on networking [1]:

  A hotspot requires Wi-Fi to work. To warn you that turning off Wi-Fi
  will turn off the hotspot, whenever Hotspot is on, the “Wi-Fi” switch
  wherever it appears (in the quick-access area, in the “Wi-Fi” screen,
  and in the network menu) should instead be “Wi-Fi used for hotspot”.
  In addition, turning on Flight Mode should warn that it will turn off
  Hotspot.

  Reproduce:
  Start an AP hotspot using [2]

  What happens:
  1. The network indicator gives no indication that turning off Wi-Fi will disable the hotspot
  2. Flight mode silently disables hotspot and does not restore it after being turned off
  3. The AP looks like any 'normal', connected network

  What should happen:
  1. The Wi-Fi switch should have a different label (see [1])
  2. Going into flight mode should yield a warning
  3. The AP should probably be visually separated from 'normal' networks
