With saved credentials present (seeded from the WIFI_SSID build flag on
first boot), the recovery AP came up in AP+STA mode while auto-reconnect
and the 10s manual retry kept the station scanning. STA scans drag the
shared radio across channels, so joining clients' WPA2 handshakes timed
out - reported by phones as a wrong password.
Disable auto-reconnect and pause the 10s retry loop while the recovery
AP is active; retry the configured network once a minute instead, so the
AP stays stable between attempts and the node still self-recovers (and
shuts the AP down) when its network returns.

Mirror the BLE pin rules on WiFi builds so the recovery AP always has a
knowable password: devices with a display get a random per-session pin
shown as Pin:NNNNNN on the home screen, headless devices default to
123456, and 'set pin' overrides both persistently. The AP password is
the active pin zero-padded to 8 digits (WPA2 minimum), so a fresh
device is never an open AP.

When a companion WiFi device has no WiFi credentials or can't connect for
60s, it broadcasts an 'EastMesh-WiFi' AP (WPA2 password = device pin
zero-padded to 8 digits; open if no pin set) with the rescue CLI on TCP
port 23, so wifi.ssid/pwd can be fixed without a serial cable.
- rescue CLI command handler now writes to any Stream (Serial or the TCP
rescue client)
- while the AP is up, STA keeps retrying; the AP shuts down automatically
once the configured network connects
- 'set wifi.ssid/pwd' keeps AP+STA mode during a rescue session so the
session isn't dropped mid-config
- guard ESP32-only SD/SPI code in ArchiveStorage so non-ESP32 builds of
the shared helpers get further

Integrates upstream v1.17.0. Key adaptations:
- companion + repeater NodePrefs moved to upstream's new ConfigSerializer
(prefs.json) format; EastMesh fields (companion wifi, repeater fan and
MQTT bridge peer) appended as serializer groups/keys
- legacy binary prefs loaders retain EastMesh tail fields, so existing
devices migrate their settings to the new format
- companion main.cpp adopts upstream InterfaceManager while keeping
runtime WiFi credentials from prefs
- kept EastMesh release-tag versioning in setup-build-environment action
