Summary
This PR fixes #7857 and #7193 by saving Wi-Fi parameters and setting them at once, avoiding unknown behaviors of the Wi-Fi driver, like setting auth mode without a valid password.
Also, it enables setting the auth of the STA/softAP modes while connecting to/providing the wireless network.
Finally, it notifies the networking layer about the current state of the STA interface.
Impact
Fix known bugs of the Wi-Fi driver on ESP32 (C3 is not affected because of its driver implementation) and improve security as it sets the minimum auth method to connect to an AP.
Testing
Internal CI testing that covers erroneous behavior prior to this MR.
