The wireless toolbar retrieves the full list of network interfaces
every 1.5 seconds to keep its list of interfaces updated. This
not only adds unnecessary load on the system it also generates
plenty of netlink traffic. When capturing packets on nlmon
interfaces they are flooded with packets generated by Wireshark
itself making it hard to understand the traffic that's really present
on the system.
Remove the periodic interface update and instead listen to network
interface change events and update only when something has changed.
The wireless toolbar need to know all when wireless interfaces are
added/removed, not only whether an interface is 'up' or not so
iface_monitor changes were also necessary.

Avoid anachronisms, however; there was no "macOS 10.0" or even "OS X
10.0", for example. It was "Mac OS X" until 10.8 (although 10.7 was
sometimes called "OS X" and sometimes called "Mac OS X"), and it was "OS
X" from 10.8 to 10.11.
