Title:
  Access points shouldn't be "connectable" if a hotspot is enabled

Status in indicator-network package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in indicator-network package in Ubuntu RTM:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  While testing the touch hotspot feature ( currently in silo-046 ) on
  krillin ( stable, #24 ) and arale ( rc-proposed, #58 ), I noticed that
  it's possible to trigger the phone to connect to an AP while the
  hotspot is enabled.

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Ensure that WiFi isn't connected to an AP
  2. Enable hotspot
  3. Display the network-menu and select an AP

  Expected result:
  You shouldn't be able to select any APs when hotspot is active.

  Actual result:
  The selected AP will trigger a connection attempt ( and succeed if open, or secure and secrets have been saved ).

  Note, one other minor nit is that the hotspot is shown in the network-
  menu's list of APs.  If this bug is fixed by not showing any APs in
  the menu anymore, then this becomes moot.

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking#hotspot>: "A hotspot requires
  exclusive use of your Wi-Fi connection. Therefore: ... * Whenever
  Hotspot is on, wherever Wi-Fi networks are listed, no networks should
  be shown."
