feat: Add /join route and WiFi setup screen improvements

[marcodejongh]

Summary

• Add /join route for easier session joining
• Improve LilyGo display QR code for session joining
• Add WiFi setup screen with QR code when no WiFi credentials are configured

WiFi Setup Screen

When the device boots without saved WiFi credentials:

• Starts Access Point with SSID "Boardsesh-Setup"
• Shows setup screen with QR code linking to http://192.168.4.1
• Defers BLE initialization until WiFi is configured (saves resources)
• Web interface shows AP mode status and allows network configuration

Files Changed

• wifi_utils: Add AP_MODE state, startAP/stopAP methods
• lilygo_display: Add showSetupScreen() with QR code
• main.cpp: Defer BLE init, show setup screen in AP mode
• esp_web_server: Handle AP mode in WiFi status endpoint

Test plan

• Flash firmware to device with no saved WiFi credentials
• Verify device creates "Boardsesh-Setup" access point
• Connect phone/laptop to AP
• Scan QR code - should open http://192.168.4.1
• Configure WiFi credentials in web interface
• Verify device connects to configured network and exits AP mode
• Verify BLE only initializes after WiFi connects

Claude Review

✅ Ready to merge - Minor issues noted below, but nothing blocking.

Issues

1. wifi_utils.cpp:52-64 - startAP() doesn't set currentSSID/currentPassword, so if WiFi connection fails later in AP mode and code tries to reconnect, it will attempt to reconnect with stale credentials from a previous connection attempt. Consider clearing these in startAP().

2. main.cpp:421-427 - hasSavedCredentials() is only checked after CONNECTION_FAILED, but checkConnection() in wifi_utils.cpp will continuously attempt reconnection if currentSSID is non-empty from a failed attempt. This could cause a loop between AP mode and connection attempts. The state machine would benefit from being cleared when entering AP mode.

3. PR title mismatch - Title mentions "Add /join route" but no web route changes are in this PR (only embedded firmware). Consider updating the PR title to accurately reflect the changes.

Documentation

No documentation updates needed - these are embedded-only changes not covered by existing docs.

Tests

Embedded firmware - no automated tests expected.
