NMWirelessDialog: request a scan when there are no visible access points

Ideally, we should keep scanning while the dialog is open, and
stop (or reduce the frequency) when it's closed. Forcing a new
scan when the dialog is opened empty is a close approximation
and increases the probability that the user will find the AP
he needs.
