GUI or at least some layers above wpa_supplicant will likely need to be
aware of this possible case with P2P and not assume config_methods=0
indicate anything about the capabilities of the peer.

Since lot of the information is available from Beacon frames, I don't
think wpa_supplicant should ignore them. However, whatever is above
wpa_supplicant can either hide such entries, or even better, try to
issue p2p_find if the user is trying to perform operation that needs to
know the configuration methods that the peer supports.
