The idea with this was allowing users to use WiFi companions, without having to compile a build. This change enables CLI Rescue commands to companion wifi builds so they can be provisioned via USB cable. (The CLI is limited in number of characters, so some longer SSIDs would still have to be compiled in, for now.) This would also allow a wifi companion firmware to be available for download from the MeshCore site and while the user is setting up, they could provision their SSID/password on the web-CLI or a local terminal via USB without having to compile a build. Longer-term, other solutions could be devised to make this more flexible, like the mobile app could add in the wifi provisioning step with a Bluetooth bootstrap stage, leveraging this code as the mechanism to store/configure. CLI Rescue commands added: | Command | Syntax | Description | |---|---|---| | Set WiFi SSID | `wifi_ssid <ssid>` | Set the network name | | Set WiFi Password | `wifi_pwd <pwd>` | Set the network password | | Commit WiFi Settings | `wifi_commit` | Apply and save settings | | Clear WiFi Settings | `wifi_clear` | Reset all WiFi settings | This is dependent on [PR 2706](meshcore-dev#2706). Tested on Heltec v3
