On ESP32-S3 and ESP32-C3, the config portal AP starts but clients cannot complete WiFi association. This is caused by: 1. Rapid WiFi mode switching (OFF->STA->AP) leaving the AP interface unstable on these chips. 2. The preloaded async WiFi scan causing channel hopping that disrupts AP client connections. 3. The STA disconnect/disable sequence before startAP() interfering with the subsequent AP initialization. Fixes: - Use clean mode transitions with delays in startConfigPortal() for ESP32-S3/C3 (WIFI_OFF -> 500ms -> WIFI_AP -> 500ms -> softAP) - Use WiFi channel 6 instead of 1 (channel 1 is unstable under DNS+HTTP traffic load on ESP32-S3) - Skip preloaded WiFi scan on ESP32-S3/C3 (scan on-demand instead) - Skip STA disconnect sequence on ESP32-S3/C3 before AP start Tested on ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1 with espressif32 @ 6.12.0. Resolves tzapu#1482

Just wanted to confirm that this PR fixes the erradic behavior I was having using an ESP32-C3-SuperMini |

I'll be honest upfront: I've let opencode create this PR, since I do not have knowledge how the wifi stack works. However, the result works for me on an ESP32-S3, so I want to share this anyhow.
This was the result of multiple rounds of patching (or rather have the AI patch) and testing the connection manually with my mobile phone, so it seems to me that all three issues were valid and needed fixing, but more testing might be needed.
