 77e9eba294 fix: overhaul WiFi captive portal for reliable setup (#296) 
* fix: overhaul WiFi captive portal for reliable device detection and fast setup

The captive portal detection endpoints were returning "success" responses
that told every OS (iOS, Android, Windows, Firefox) that internet was
working — so the portal popup never appeared. This fixes the core issue
and improves the full setup flow:

- Return portal-triggering redirects when AP mode is active; normal
  success responses when not (no false popups on connected devices)
- Add lightweight self-contained setup page (9KB, no frameworks) for
  the captive portal webview instead of the full UI
- Cache AP mode check with 5s TTL (single systemctl call vs full
  WiFiManager instantiation per request)
- Stop disabling AP mode during WiFi scans (which disconnected users);
  serve cached/pre-scanned results instead
- Pre-scan networks before enabling AP mode so captive portal has
  results immediately
- Use dnsmasq.d drop-in config instead of overwriting /etc/dnsmasq.conf
  (preserves Pi-hole and other services)
- Fix manual SSID input bug that incorrectly overwrote dropdown selection

* fix: address review findings for WiFi captive portal

- Remove orphaned comment left over from old scan_networks() finally block
- Add sudoers rules for dnsmasq drop-in copy/remove to install script
- Combine cached-network message into single showMsg call (was overwriting)
- Return (networks, was_cached) tuple from scan_networks() so API endpoint
  derives cached flag from the scan itself instead of a redundant AP check
- Narrow exception catch in AP mode cache to SubprocessError/OSError and
  log the failure for remote debugging
- Bound checkNewIP retries to 20 attempts (60s) before showing fallback

WiFi Manager for Raspberry Pi LED Matrix
Handles WiFi connection management, access point mode, and network scanning.
Only enables AP mode when there is no active WiFi connection.
Tested and optimized for:
- Raspberry Pi OS Trixie (Debian 13) with NetworkManager/Netplan
- Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm (Debian 12) with NetworkManager
- Raspberry Pi 3B+, 4, 5 with built-in WiFi
Sudoers Requirements:
The following sudoers entries are required for passwordless operation.
Add to /etc/sudoers.d/ledmatrix_wifi:
ledpi ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/nmcli
ledpi ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/systemctl start hostapd
ledpi ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/systemctl stop hostapd
