There is an existing WMI command which is used to start the extscan
hotlist monitor, wmi_unified_get_buf_extscan_hotlist_cmd(), but this
API has multiple issues:
1) The "get_buf" in the name implies it retrieves something, but it
doesn't.
2) The full name is not a "mirror" of the companion function that
stops the monitor, wmi_unified_extscan_stop_hotlist_monitor_cmd().
3) The current function has an "int *buf_len" parameter that is unused.
To address these issue introduce a new function with "mirror" naming,
wmi_unified_extscan_start_hotlist_monitor_cmd(), which has an
appropriate parameter list.
It is expected that all clients of the existing API will be moved to
the new API, at which point the existing API can be removed.

For phase 2 (this change):
Replace all references of the badly named identifiers with references
to the properly named substitutes. Note that this phase may touch
multiple repos and may involve a number of separate changes.
