Windows scans are identical for long periods of time #40

Issue brought by https://github.com/ScottSWu in #15.

To quote:

I've toyed around with RSSI on Windows a bit, and unfortunately, netsh will return the exact same scan results for a couple minutes unless you rescan or re-enable wifi. A quick search doesn't really provide any answers on how to initiate a rescan through the command line (other than disconnecting, reconnecting, disabling or re-enabling wifi).

In Window's Native Wifi API, there's an asynchronous WlanScan function which will initiate a scan, along with WlanGetNetworkBssList which can return the received signal strength in dbm (netsh's signal value seems to give a "quality" value). I'm neither too familiar with Go nor ML - would submitting the same fingerprints / non-dbm units affect accuracy of readings?
