  Install wpasupplicant by default on RISC-V images

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Most of RISC-V boards come with a Wifi chipset and some (like the
  licheeRV) don't even have an ethernet port. To ease user's life, we
  should install wpasupplicant by default so they can use the Wifi.

  [Test Plan]

  Build a VisionFive image (which is the only one that supports the Wifi
  for now) and at first boot, try to configure the Wifi using netplan.

  Also, check if our raspi images are still building correctly with the
  same set of pre-installed packages.

  [Where problems could occur]

  There is always the risk to break the image for other architectures,
  and other RISC-V boards. Checking if raspi builds are still fine
  should be done as part of the validation.
