add method waitForConnectResult to improve wifi connecting

[hasenradball]

improve Wifi connecting by new method waitForConnectResult()

• more or less an copy of the ESP8266 core method
• improves WiFi.begin() handling
• by using this function the connection status is returned very fast
• added illustration example

[JAndrassy]

WiFi.begin is blocking in WiFiNINA and other Arduino WiFi libraries. There is nothing to wait for.

[hasenradball]

@JAndrassy yes I saw the code, but when I tested it I reached the fastest connection time with this aproach.

In addition this would be the best combination with the branch non blocking connect.
Should I combine these changes?

From my expirience a blocking begin is not so a good approach regarding fast connection time.

The other solution would be to rework the begin to be able to distinguish between timeout an other wl_status codes.

[hasenradball]

With the begin you are not able to distinguish between timeout and other codes.
I prepared this modifieg begin also.
I will create a PR to be able to compare.

@JAndrassy
See PR #263 for refracture begin methods to improve wifi connecting without a waitForConnectResult()method in combination with connect method without blocking.
