Resolves #111

Description
When utilizing the WIBL logger with modern mobile hotspots (e.g. Google Pixel 9 Pro) that enforce WPA3 security, the logger was failing to authenticate. This PR fixes this by configuring PMF (\pmf_cfg.capable, \pmf_cfg.required) and WPA3 SAE flags prior to invoking \WiFi.begin().

Changes

  • Injects WPA3 / PMF capabilities in \WiFiAdapter::attemptStationJoin.
  • Adds a \RequirePMF\ parameter to the configuration system so strict PMF enforcement can be toggled without breaking legacy WPA2 infrastructure. By default, WPA2 backward compatibility is strictly retained.

…JHC#111)

- Adds CONFIG_REQUIRE_PMF_S to allow users with modern hotspots (like Pixel 9 Pro) to enforce Protected Management Frames.
- Defaults PMF to capable but not required to preserve compatibility with legacy WPA2 networks.
- Sets sae_pwe_h2e to WPA3_SAE_PWE_BOTH where available to enable WPA3 SAE flow.

With apologies for the delay in getting to this, a question: although I can see how the code here is going to use the configuration parameter to set up the connection, and I don't see any detrimental side-effect in declaring that the system is PMF capable, I don't see any mechanism for the user to either set, or interrogate the parameter used for this. Is this elsewhere? Or missing?
