Capability THREAD_JOINER (required for "Joiner:State") is not supported by NCP (14)

@primis , this error log already indicates the issue 😃 that the NCP firmware build that is being used does not seem to support/enable the "joiner" feature (the config was not enabled on the build). Therefore wpantund does not support the joiner related properties/commands.

This is enabled on OT build by config OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_JOINER_ENABLE. You can see the autoconf/cmake options OT_JOINER in openthread/README.
