Proposed Changes

Made a function for replacing the device name in the ARP table, which allows for ARP Spoofing attacks and other attacks to be performed more discreetly.
Types of Changes
New feature: This feature replaces the device's MAC address. If the device has a randomized MAC address, the device name can be specified in the Device name, such as "Samsung-A26."

Further Comments

This function also saves the wifi hosts name in the bruce.conf file. You can also see the hosts name in config->About

I sincerely apologize for the repeated merge branch; in the previous one I accidentally deleted files that were needed for the build.

Call hosts name before first dhcp request
The problem I am facing is with the automatic background Wi-Fi connection feature (wifiConnectTask).
An attempt to fix a bug is that when the device is turned on, the name esp32s3 is used when connecting.
The bug is that if the device is turned off and then turned on, the host name does not remain.
The problem was that when changing the hostname, the old hostname was used.
Bug Fixed
Added the ability to view the host name via AP info
