WiFiScanAndConnect() function will not connect to a Hidden SSID #28

Description

If your WiFi SSID is hidden, it doesn't appear as a match in the WiFi scan. The OpenEEW ESP32 WiFiScanAndConnect() firmware function decides your stored network isn't available because it compares by SSID string name. It then drops into SmartConfig scanning mode even if you've previously used the OpenEEW mobile provisioning app and SmartConfig to connect to this network.

The solution is likely to also store the BSSID mac address of the WiFi router in NVRAM and use that to compare during the network scan.
