feat(wifi): adopt adsb-feeder-image hotspot patterns — DNS spoofing, connectivity check, idle timeout, wrong-password UX, watchdog escalation

Browse Source 
Inspired by the production-proven approach in dirkhh/adsb-feeder-image.

1. DNS spoofing for automatic captive-portal popup (Change 1 — Critical)
   Write /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq-shared.d/ledmatrix-captive.conf with
   address=/#/192.168.4.1 before nmcli connection up so NM's built-in
   dnsmasq (ipv4.method=shared) resolves every hostname to the AP IP.
   This triggers the OS captive-portal popup automatically on iOS / Android /
   Windows / macOS — no manual navigation to 192.168.4.1:5000/setup required.
   New helpers: _write_nm_dnsmasq_captive_conf / _remove_nm_dnsmasq_captive_conf.
   New constants: NM_DNSMASQ_SHARED_DIR / NM_DNSMASQ_SHARED_CONF.

2. Real internet connectivity check (Change 2 — High)
   Add _check_internet_connectivity() (ping 8.8.8.8 + HTTP fallback).
   check_and_manage_ap_mode() now considers a device "disconnected" when nmcli
   shows connected but no real internet reachability, matching adsb-feeder's
   multi-method gateway/DNS/HTTP test approach.

3. AP idle timeout (Change 3 — Medium)
   Track _ap_enabled_at timestamp in enable_ap_mode(). Add _has_ap_clients()
   using 'iw dev <iface> station dump'. check_and_manage_ap_mode() auto-disables
   AP after ap_idle_timeout_minutes (default 15) with no associated clients.

4. Wrong-password error feedback (Change 4 — Medium)
   _connect_nmcli() detects "Secrets were required" / "authentication rejected"
   in nmcli stderr and prefixes the message with "wrong_password: ".
   The /api/v3/wifi/connect route propagates error_type="wrong_password" in the
   JSON response. captive_setup.html shows "Incorrect password — try again"
   (keeping the form active) instead of the generic failure message.

5. Escalating watchdog NM restart (Change 5 — Low)
   wifi_monitor_daemon.py tracks _consecutive_internet_failures. After
   _nm_restart_threshold (5) consecutive checks where nmcli shows connected but
   internet is unreachable, restart NetworkManager as a recovery step.
