feat(wifi): Improve Wifi STA + AP init/deinit to have better support for simultaneity

[finger563]

Description

• Update Wifi component so that WifiSta and WifiAP initialization and deinitialization do not have unintended side effects

Motivation and Context

This PR ensures that stopping the WifiSta does not inadvertently stop the WifiAP if it is running, and vice versa. This is important for applications that require both modes to be active simultaneously, such as when a device needs to connect to an existing network while also providing its own access point for other devices.

How has this been tested?

Tested on ESP32 hardware with both WifiSta and WifiAP running concurrently. Verified that stopping one mode does not affect the other. Conducted multiple start/stop cycles to ensure stability and reliability.

Pull request overview

This PR improves WiFi STA (Station) and AP (Access Point) initialization and deinitialization to better support simultaneous operation (APSTA mode). The changes allow both STA and AP to coexist without interfering with each other during startup and shutdown.

Changes:

• Modified WifiSta and WifiAp classes to detect and preserve existing WiFi modes when initializing
• Updated stop/destructor logic to transition between APSTA↔STA and APSTA↔AP modes rather than fully stopping WiFi
• Changed CMakeLists.txt dependencies from PRIV_REQUIRES to REQUIRES to properly expose WiFi types in public headers
