This changes from the previous limit of 15 characters. Although DHCP and
mDNS allow for up to 63, ESP32 and ESP8266 only allow 32, so this seems
like a reasonable limit to enforce across all ports (and avoids wasting the
additional memory).
Also clarifies that `MICROPY_PY_NETWORK_HOSTNAME_MAX_LEN` does not include
the null terminator (which was unclear before).

This enables the use of WLAN(0).status('rssi') to get current RSSI of the
AP that the STA is connected to.

This removes the previous WiFi driver from drivers/cyw43 (but leaves behind
the BT driver), and makes the stm32 port (i.e. PYBD and Portenta) use the
new "lib/cyw43-driver" open-source driver already in use by the rp2 port.

This provides a standard interface to setting the global networking config
for all interfaces and interface types.
For ports that already use either a static hostname (mimxrt, rp2) they will
now use the configured value. The default is configured by the port
(or optionally the board).
For interfaces that previously supported .config(hostname), this is still
supported but now implemented using the global network.hostname.
Similarly, pyb.country and rp2.country are now deprecated, but the methods
still exist (and forward to network.hostname).
Because ESP32/ESP8266 do not use extmod/modnetwork.c they are not affected
by this commit.

Prior to this commit, the default security=-1 would be passed directly
through to the cyw43 driver to auto-detect the security type, but that
driver did not correctly handle the case of open security.
The cyw43 driver has now been changed to no longer support auto-detection,
rather it is up to the caller to always select the security type. The
defaults are now implemented in the Python bindings and are:
- if no key is given then it selects open security
- if a key is given then it selects WPA2_MIXED_PSK
Calling `wlan.connect(<ssid>)` will now connect to an open network, on
both rp2 and stm32 ports. The form `wlan.connect(<ssid>, <key>)` will
connect to a WPA2 network.
Fixes issue #9016.

Instead of being an explicit field, it's now a slot like all the other
methods.
This is a marginal code size improvement because most types have a make_new
(100/138 on PYBV11), however it improves consistency in how types are
declared, removing the special case for make_new.

Rename WLAN keyword args to scan(), connect() and config() to be more
consistent across ports and WLAN drivers. This change is backwards
compatible and will support obsolete keyword args, except for positional
"essid" which is now deprecated in favor of "ssid".
The changed argument names are
- "essid" changed to "ssid"
- "auth" or "authmode" changed to "security"
- "password" changed to "key"
Addresses issue #8083.
The network.STA_IF and network.AP_IF constants are now independent to the
CYW43_ITF_STA and CYW43_ITF_AP constants.

Otherwise the Python network object continues to report that it is
attempting to connect.
Also make the return error code consistent with wifi scan.

Note: the uncrustify configuration is explicitly set to 'add' instead of
'force' in order not to alter the comments which use extra spaces after //
as a means of indenting text for clarity.
